“This is the most iconic of the self-portraits I made from 2017-2019, a very personal, and complicated time in my art practice. Since it’s creation for luxury showroom Spencer Interiors, it has been featured on the cover of “Canadian Culinary Imaginations” as well as the Filipino restaurant Barkada in Hong Kong.
I wanted the image to have the energy of famous athletes on Wheaties cereal boxes, combined with WWII propaganda posters. I found an image to recreate in the form of a Versace ad featuring a model holding up an oversize perfume bottle. This piece has classic pop elements, but features insider tropes of Filipino culture. The giant flag to me recalls Jasper Johns, while the can of Spam is a stand in for a Campbell’s Soup can.
de los Reyes, encompasses the most about my relationship to pop culture and collage from childhood to adulthood. This period was very raw, embracing a vanity that was inside me, that many artists possess. I felt it was important to be honest about that and though it was emotionally turbulent, looking back I think it was good to get it out of my system. I found my personal visual language in collage during this time. I did a few exhibitions from 2018-2020 that were centered on queer-Asian experiences, which was part of a bigger cultural shift in media and our community, where many of us were taking our representation into our own hands and telling our stories. I named this self-portrait after my mother’s maiden name, paying tribute to the perseverance she and my family embodied when we immigrated to Canada.”
