Michael P. Bauzon

After a terrible explosion, human bodies fell like shattered debris on the ground. Innocent people—young and old died in an instant. I couldn't understand why man developed such gluttony for brutality. This painting depicts man's horrible act towards his fellowmen.

As an immigrant in Toronto I face the loneliness of new arrivals. What makes man uproot himself to face the uncertainties of a new land? I see faces—despondent, despairing, disappointed, and lonely. These portraits tell of the so many faces of newly-arrived immigrants."

Undersea No. 5
oil on canvas - 30" x 42"
Philip Somozo

The Philippine Archipelago owns one of the world's most extensive and biologically diverse coral reefs. But that was half-a-century ago. Today, what remains is only about 5%. Main causes of destruction are siltation, pollution, and over-extracton. As artist and skin diver, I find solace among the remaining natural coral formations.
