Michael Cacnio sculpts about money

Michael Cacnio is a Filipino sculptor who is known for his brass masterpieces. His latest art exhibit is called "Abundance." 

He says, "For this show, my simple wish is for all of us to be abundant as a nation together."

Perhaps Cacnio was referring to the Philippines and China because some of his art featured the Chinese currency as well. The above sculpture was a centerpiece in the exhibit.

This one using mixed media was called "Happy Rich Asian."

Found this brass "Peso Power" rendition at the back of the exhibit. With the peso depreciating as of this writing, it's hard to relate to this idea.

This lady is carrying Philippine money.

At first glance, it appears that Cacnio defines abundance with lots of cash. After perusing the whole exhibit, however, there is one sculptural rendition that seems to give a different definition of wealth.

The above diorama sculpted in brass is called "Our True Wealth" and depicts a family with many children at play.

The art exhibit is managed by Gallery Big. For more details, contact Sachi Morales 0977-826-5997.
