One of the founders of the Salingpusa group, visual artist Jim Orencio is best known for his landscape works, specifically those of his hometown, Antipolo. He skillfully captures light in his celebrated gardenscapes as well; he would depict gardens during outdoor painting sessions with the Antipolo Thursday Group of Artists. Fern Path is a beautiful piece in which Orencio heightens the beauty of nature through his handling of light, eye for detail, and masterful use of earth colors. A graduate of the UP College of Fine Arts in 1990, Orencio was a finalist in the Metrobank Foundation National Painting Competition in 1990 and 1993. In 2006, he was named Most Outstanding Visual Artist of Aklan; he spent his youth in Romblon with his grandparents before moving to Papua New Guinea in the seventies. Orencio is also an artist in residence at the Silangan Foundation for Arts, Culture & Ecology, an environmental conservation area with Pinto Gallery (where he serves as curator) in the estate founded by Dr. Joven Cuanang.
