“Hayahay Blend”
“On the verge of burnout, the mind tends to just let go, give up, or relax, in my case at least. This batch of works is a product of such a state.”
Kiko Escora’s “Hayahay Blend” is a collection of works that beautifully capture the essence of surrendering to the verge of burnout. In this state of mental exhaustion, the artist delves into a realm where creativity flows freely, unhindered by the constraints of everyday life.
It’s as if the artist has found solace in the chaos, an oasis of creativity amid the desert of exhaustion, conveying the delicate balance between surrender and control. Kiko Escora’s exhibition shows the power of embracing vulnerability and letting the mind wander, resulting in a unique blend of emotions and ideas that infuse these artworks with a profound sense of raw authenticity.
This is a testament to the human spirit’s resilience, proving that even in our most vulnerable moments, we can find beauty and inspiration. “HAYAHAY BLEND” invites you to embrace the artistic journey that unfolds when the mind teeters on the edge of exhaustion.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kiko Escora
Kiko Escora is a Filipino contemporary artist taking on different media and interests. He has done graphic design, fashion, metal sculptures, abstractions and other sorts of installation. His works are characterized by transgressive images, hedonism, and a kind of vivid frenzy only he can articulate. They often toy around with themes of mortality, contradiction, and drama, with subjects torn between sensuality and tragedy. A visionary steward of Promethean underground, Kiko Escora derives inspiration from music, history, design and architecture to disasters, dreams, loved ones and lovers.
Apart from being a recipient of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Thirteen Artists Award in 2003, he has also participated in numerous exhibitions group and solo exhibitions locally and abroad.
