UK-based contemporary artist Philippe Aird has an ongoing exhibit of his works at Cebu White Sands in Maribago with the proceeds of the sales earmarked for the victims of recent typhoons. He has developed a special medium, which results in a liquid glass-like effect at the surface of the painting, showing thousands of pigment particles frozen in time. His works are in public and private collections in Spain, Canada, Australia, Japan and the USA.
