Muntinlupa City celebrates its rich cultural heritage and homegrown talent with the highly anticipated “Ko-Mix” art exhibit, featuring world-class paintings by renowned local artist Reynold Dela Cruz.
Dela Cruz’s vibrant artworks draw inspiration from his childhood spent along the railways of Muntinlupa, when his mother used to rent out Filipino komiks to their neighbors.
“Noong maliit kasi ako, 'yung nanay ko nagpaparenta ng komiks. Doon galing 'yung pinambili ng tricycle ng tatay ko, 'yung pagkain namin, at binabaon namin sa eskwelahan. Kaya nagkaroon ng malalim na kahulugan sa akin ang komiks,” Dela Cruz said.
The exhibit captures the essence of Muntinlupa’s culture, resilience, and creativity. Dela Cruz’s paintings resonate with nostalgia, inviting viewers to explore their own memories of youth.
The Ko-Mix exhibition is open to the public free from May 30 to July 29, 2024, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Museo ng Muntinlupa.
