Painted in a single intense week before the rains, Ember Season is Rafael's response to the heat of a Philippine April. It is a rare fast painting from an artist known for slow ones, and its energy makes it a striking focal point for a dining room or study.

The Story
Inspiration & process

About the Artist
Rafael Domingo
Rafael builds luminous, slow-made canvases in layered oil and cold wax, translating the light of Manila afternoons into quiet fields of colour.
I paint the moment just before a room goes quiet — that pause where light settles and everything feels possible.
Collector Care
Delivery, framing & authenticity
Every work leaves the gallery inspected, documented and insured. Our team is happy to advise on scale, hanging height and framing before you buy.
Shipping & delivery
Originals are wrapped in acid-free tissue, crated and shipped fully insured. Metro Manila deliveries arrive within 3–5 working days, with white-glove hanging available on request. Provincial deliveries take 5–10 working days. Prints ship rolled in archival tubes or framed and boxed.
Certificate of authenticity
Each work is accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist and countersigned by the gallery, recording the title, medium, dimensions, year and, for editions, the edition number.
Framing & care
Originals are supplied ready to hang on gallery-depth stretchers. Custom framing in natural oak, black or gold leaf can be arranged on request. Hang away from direct sunlight and humidity, and dust gently with a dry, soft brush.
Returns & private viewings
If a work is not right for your space, contact us within 7 days of delivery to arrange a return. Prefer to see it in person first? Book a private viewing at the gallery.
