"The Present Tense" by Archie Sumilang

​

Art is often a response to the unfiltered sensations of living: the fleeting thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape our days. In The Present Tense , Archie Sumilang invites us into the immediacy of creation—an intimate dialogue with the present moment.  

​

Each piece in this collection is a reflection of what it means to embrace the "now." Free from overplanning or pretense, the works capture the artist’s intuitive impulses, revealing a raw, unpolished authenticity. Through spontaneous gestures, unexpected textures, and vibrant forms, the art embodies the transient beauty of life as it unfolds.  

​

For Archie Sumilang, this process is not about perfection but about presence. It is about surrendering to the flow of creativity and honoring the emotions and ideas that arise in real time. In doing so, the works become more than static objects; they are living records of the artist’s experience, offering viewers a moment of connection, introspection, and resonance.  

​

The Present Tense is an ode to mindfulness and spontaneity, reminding us that art, like life, is most profound when lived in the moment.
