The intersection of traditional art with contemporary techniques and styles
The intersection of traditional Philippine art and design with contemporary techniques and styles is a fascinating topic that showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines and how it has evolved over time. The traditional art of the Philippines is heavily influenced by the country’s history, religion, and customs, and it reflects the diverse cultural and artistic traditions of the different regions of the country.
With the emergence of contemporary techniques and styles, Philippine art and design have taken on a new form. Contemporary artists and designers have incorporated traditional Philippine elements and motifs into their works, creating a fusion of old and new that celebrates the country’s cultural identity while embracing modernity.
For example, some artists use traditional Philippine textiles such as the “banig” (a handwoven mat) and “hablon” (a handwoven fabric) as materials for their contemporary fashion designs. Others incorporate traditional Philippine patterns and symbols into their graphic design works, such as the “sarimanok” (a legendary bird in Maranao mythology) and “okir” (a decorative pattern used in Maranao art).
This intersection of traditional Philippine art and design with contemporary techniques and styles not only creates visually stunning works but also highlights the importance of preserving and promoting the country’s cultural heritage.

Yes! It’s amazing how touches of traditional art are still seen in contemporary art. Especially when the piece reaches an international audience and the artist explains the symbolism and story behind the piece. Some other great examples would be national costumes in Ms. Universe competitions. A personal favorite would be Catriona Gray’s gown in the Ms. Universe 2018 competition. It was created by Mak Tumang and symbolized the hometown of the contestant.

Appreciate you sharing this! It’s amazing to see how Filipino artists are preserving heritage while embracing contemporary methods. One example that comes to my mind is how indigenous weaving techniques are being incorporated into contemporary fashion design.
