Listening to artists talk about Martino Abellana’s influence reminds us how deep his impact runs in Cebu’s art community. 🎨✨

His approach to color, form, and storytelling continues to shape how many of today’s painters understand their craft — and themselves.
In this reel, artists share how his legacy guided their growth, challenged their perspective, and set the standard for what meaningful art can be.

His influence lives on through the creatives who continue to learn from him, honor him, and carry his vision forward. 🌄

We’re excited for next year’s feature — and we can’t wait to hear more artists share their stories and the mentors who shaped their journey.

Tops Art Fest was all about the people — artists, families, friends, students, and creatives who showed up ready to celebrate art in the best way possible. 🎨✨

For three days, the mountain turned into a space full of energy and connection. Everywhere you looked, people were talking, laughing, learning, and creating. Every corner had a moment worth remembering.

This year proved how strong and alive Cebu’s art community really is when everyone comes together with the same passion. 🌄💛

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made the fest what it was — your energy carried the whole weekend.
And we’re already excited for what’s next.

2026 is going to be bigger, brighter, and even more high-energy — more people, more creativity, more everything. ⚡️🎨

The drawing area became one of the most loved corners of the fest — a space where everyone jumped in, sketched, and left their mark.

Attendees filled the walls with quick doodles, playful portraits, and little sketches that showed their creativity in real time.

Simple, spontaneous, and open to all — this space reminded us that art doesn’t need rules to bring people together.

In this video, Humaida Jumalon reflects on the life and artistry of her late father, Julian Jumalon—his creative process, his passion, and the stories behind the pieces she holds closest to her heart. She shares how he created art with intention and imagination, choosing subjects rooted in local culture, myths, and the stories her generation grew up with.

His works remain warm, intricate, and deeply tied to Cebu’s artistic heritage.
Beyond his canvases, one of Julian Jumalon’s greatest achievements lives on in the UP Cebu Fine Arts Program, which he helped establish—an enduring contribution that continues to shape Cebu’s creative landscape.

As Humaida speaks, she becomes a quiet mirror of his legacy—carrying it the way a canvas carries light, allowing the depth and spirit of his work to shine through. Her reflections show how Julian Jumalon’s art remains beautiful, unique, and endlessly influential—continuing to inspire today’s young artists and touching new generations of creative minds.
