Jose "Joe" P. Hombrebueno is an Ilocano artist. He will present his works in his solo exhibit dubbed as Colors of Nature in Harmony at the Burnham Suites’ Sunflower Café at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.

Hombrebueno’s subjects include flowers, figures and landscapes. He gives a new perspective on the beauty of nature through the mix of colors, cultures, and strokes. He works with different mediums like- watercolor, ink, and oil, uses colors captured through different angles which speak of life’s joys and pleasures. He already exhibited his works in galleries in Manila and overseas. His paintings have also been published in books and magazines.

"The texture, style and the combination of the colors used vividly display the creativity of his artworks. It is the beauty of the artwork that speaks of his God-given talent… He likewise gets the nod and respect of his peers," says Bella S. Flores.

He received the third prize in the Green Revolution poster making contest in 1975 and started his career in the arts. His first exhibit in 1982 was followed with other shows at the following venues: Goethe Institute, German Cultural Center, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia; Dubai and New York and here in the country at the National Museum, Manila Hotel, Philam Life Building, SM Megamall, Metro Gallery and Intramuros.
