Mother and Child signed and dated 2005 (lower right) acrylic on canvas 24" x 24" (61 cm x 61 cm)   Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot   Ever the storyteller, Emmanuel Garibay’s Mother and Child tells a story even with its simplicity. Portraying the titular duo, Garibay transformed the usual fairskinned Madonna and child into unmistakable Filipinos, with their golden brown skin, dark eyes, and darker hair. She cradles her child to her chest, neck bent as she rests her cheek against his temple. They make the image of a peaceful family, with Garibay’s bold, expressive colors fortifying his expressionist command. (Hannah Valiente)
