Dale Bagtas, a prominent figure in contemporary art, firmly establishes his presence through his dynamic abstractions, which eloquently convey the sculptural essence of pigment and often engage in a choreographic dance with found objects. Departing from the emphasis on the flatness of canvas in non-objective art, Bagtas revels in expansion, tactility, and presence, transforming his paintings into objective revelations of a rich and fertile universe. Within his works, forms and shapes swirl, mutate, and transform, evoking worlds ranging from the cellular level to the cosmic scale, while ultimately highlighting the spectacular growth and flourishing of nature.As an esteemed member of Kunst Filipino Kapatiran at Ugnayan ng Natatanging Sining at Talentong Filipino, Bagtas washonored with the Presidential Awards for Filipino Individual and Organization Overseas (Banaag) in 2021. He is also a valued member of the Rotary Club of HeARTS District 3830.
