HR00114: A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE PROFOUND CONDOLENCES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON THE PASSING OF MR. JUSTIN “TINY” NUYDA
This resolution expresses the profound condolences of the House of Representatives on the passing of Mr. Justin "Tiny" Nuyda, who passed away on June 27, 2022, at the age of 78. Mr. Nuyda was a prominent Filipino visual artist, a co-founder of the legendary Saturday Group alongside other art and literary greats, including National Artists. He was known for his "Mindscape" series, which depicted "landscapes of the mind" with aurora-like images and celestial moods, and his art was greatly influenced by nature due to his passion for butterflies as a top lepidopterist. In fact, a new species of butterfly was named after him in 1975.
Mr. Nuyda's passing is a significant loss for the Filipino people, but his legacy as a pillar of Philippine Modern Art continues to inspire the visual arts community. His dedication, creativity, and unique approach to art serve as a testament to Filipino artistic excellence and provide inspiration for aspiring artists. The resolution acknowledges his invaluable contributions, which enriched the country's cultural landscape and left a lasting mark on the development of Philippine art.
