Description

Joe Datuin is a Filipino artist renowned for his skill in employing subtle symbolism using stainless steel as his medium. He is equally celebrated for his circular abstractions which convey a sense of unity in both material and form. According to Datuin, he firmly maintains that greatness in art can be achieved through simplicity.

He further expresses his desire to spare viewers from the jarring or overwhelming experiences that some art may induce, which perhaps contributes to the universal allure of his artwork.
