"I try to deviate from the traditional portrait," says Sion." I want to have my own identity when it comes to my works, so that they won’t look like other portraits. When you see one, you know at once that I made it."

While the two shows are spaced far in between, the artist did not take a long break from art making. While not active in the gallery circuit, Bongalon has remained prolific, continually turning out portraits, nudes, landscapes and still lifes. 


Aside from being well-versed in a number of painting genres, he is also adept with various media. Oil, pastel and watercolor are among these.
