“THE TIDES OF TIME” by Milmar Onal runs at Galleria Nicolas ATC
April 24-May 3, 2024In the early 20th century in Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity, time was described as physical and dynamic, relative as opposed to being absolute, and limitless. Einstein concluded that all “nows” – past, present and future – must exist simultaneously. Science, philosophy, religion, and the arts have different definitions of time, but the one constant is that time is the progression of events from the past to the present into the future. It is not something determined by sight, touch, or taste, but we can measure its passage.
Milmar Onal reflects on this in his 12th solo exhibition “The Tides of Time” as he delves into the relation of his own personal growth and the unstoppable movement of time like the ever changing tides of events or circumstances in his own life. Onal’s constant search for meaning, yearning for growth and longing to progress is at the center of his practice. His unceasing goal to adapt and hurdle whatever obstacles life throws his way remains unchanged in his pursuit of excellence in his field.
Visual artist Milmar Ignacio B. Onal received his degree in Fine Arts Major in Painting from the University of Santo Tomas(UST). Aside from participating in multiple exhibits, he also worked for TV and theater productions. Onal also took a course at the ITC (Institute of Technological Courses) under UST’s Department of Engineering that led him to develop a practice inspired from electrical flow and circuitry. Milmar Onal’s minimalist art pieces, such as his abstract landscapes, communicate a sense of simplicity in visually describing places and figures. His body of work tells a tale with no beginning and no end, a manifestation of the human mind’s limitless potential.
“The Tides of Time” by Milmar Onal will be on view from April 24-May 3, 2024 at Galleria Nicolas Alabang Town Center. Galleria Nicolas Alabang Town Center is located at the Ground Floor Entrance, Alabang Town Center, Alabang-Zapote Rd., Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
