A meaningful pursuit with Conrad Manila’s ‘Of Art and Wine Series: Intimate Reflections’ by Spencer Ozo
MANILA, Philippines — Conrad Manila proudly presents the 42nd edition of its signature Of Art and Wine series with Intimate Reflections by Spencer Ozo, currently on exhibit at Gallery C until September 26. Curated by resident curator Nestor Jardin, the 25-piece exhibition offers a deeply personal exploration of vulnerability, resilience and the evolving journey of self-understanding.
“Through Intimate Reflections, our very own Spencer Ozo invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys of growth and self-discovery,” said Rupert Hallam, GM of Conrad Manila.
“As a valued member of our team, Spencer embodies our commitment to nurturing an environment where team members are empowered to pursue their passions, unlock their potential, and express their creativity both within and beyond the workplace.”
Ozo has been a valued member of the Conrad Manila team since 2017. While serving as the hotel’s front office manager, ensuring seamless stays and inspiring experiences for guests, he has also established himself as a distinguished artist.
His artistic journey gained momentum with his first exhibition at Gallery C in 2022, marking the beginning of a growing presence in the local art scene.
In Intimate Reflections, Ozo creates a compelling dialogue between abstract and figurative forms, revealing the intersection between inner consciousness and external experience.
His abstract works harness color, texture and movement to express emotions beyond words, while his figurative pieces ground these sentiments in lived realities and human connections. Together, the collection presents a nuanced visual narrative of personal transformation and self-awareness.
“Art has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of who I am,” shared Ozo.
“It allows me to navigate personal histories, cultural influences and emotional truths with honesty and intention. The interplay of light and color throughout my works reflects my belief that clarity and hope can emerge even amid uncertainty. Through this collection, I hope to encourage reflection and meaningful conversations about identity, growth, and the shared human experience,” he added.
The exhibition opened in the presence of esteemed guests, including SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. president Elizabeth Sy, EVP Peggy Angeles, Conrad Manila GM Rupert Hallam and the featured artist.
All artworks on exhibit at Gallery C are available for acquisition. For inquiries and more information, guests and art collectors may contact 8833-9999 or email Conrad.Manila.info@conradhotels.com.
