Following the deeply personal success of Di Magmaliw and after a five-year hiatus, contemporary artist Ed Lorenzo makes a poignant return with Parakemama—a deeply evocative collection exploring love, nurture, and memory. This latest series is a heartfelt homage to the unwavering devotion of a mother, capturing the essence of maternal love through Lorenzo’s signature fluid art technique.
Parakemama is a visual tribute to the boundless sacrifice and affection of mothers, expressed through dynamic, flowing strokes that evoke warmth and tenderness. The collection introduces its first three pieces: Sinapupunan (Womb), Hele (Lullaby), and Kanlungan (Shelter). These works chronicle the formative years of Lorenzo’s bond with his mother, embodying the security, comfort, and unconditional love that shaped his childhood. Each piece serves as a visual poem, articulating the deep emotional connection between a mother and her child.
Rendered in acrylic with Lorenzo’s meticulous fluid art manipulation using glue and resin, the paintings pulsate with movement, depth, and sentiment. The swirling hues and intricate patterns reflect the organic and ever-evolving nature of a mother’s love—fluid yet enduring, delicate yet strong. Through this technique, Lorenzo captures the intangible: the gentle cadence of a lullaby, the protective embrace of a mother’s arms, and the sacred sanctuary of the womb that first nurtured life.
For Lorenzo, Parakemama is not just an artistic expression but a personal narrative—a testament to love, conveyed through color, texture, and motion. His signature approach to fluid art creates immersive and introspective pieces that invite viewers to reflect on their own maternal bonds.
“Parakemama is my love letter to my mother. Each piece embodies the memories and emotions tied to her presence in my life. I want people to feel the comfort, warmth, and love that I experienced growing up under her care,” shares Lorenzo.
As Parakemama unfolds with future releases, Ed Lorenzo continues to use his art as a vessel for storytelling—one that resonates with audiences who understand the universal and unbreakable connection between a mother and child. This collection serves as a reminder that art transcends the visual—it becomes an experience, a memory, a feeling immortalized in color and form.
The Parakemama series is now available for viewing online on Instagram @thelorenzosart, inviting collectors, art enthusiasts, and those who cherish the beauty of maternal love to immerse themselves in its profound message.
