The luxury hotel along Manila Bay proudly showcases the artistic journey of a valued team member through a compelling collection that explores self-discovery, resilience, and personal growth.
Conrad Manila proudly presents the 42nd edition of its signature Of Art and Wine series, Intimate Reflections by Spencer Ozo, currently on exhibit at Gallery C until September 26, 2026. Curated by resident curator Nestor Jardin, the 25-piece exhibition offers a deeply personal exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and the evolving journey of self-understanding.
“Through Intimate Reflections, our very own Spencer Ozo invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys of growth and self-discovery,” said Rupert Hallam, General Manager of Conrad Manila. “As a valued member of our team, Spencer embodies our commitment to nurturing an environment where team members are empowered to pursue their passions, unlock their potential, and express their creativity both within and beyond the workplace.”
Spencer Ozo has been a valued member of the Conrad Manila team since 2017. While serving as the hotel’s Front Office Manager, ensuring seamless stays and memorable guest experiences, he has also established himself as a distinguished artist. His artistic journey gained momentum with his first exhibition at Gallery C in 2022, marking the beginning of his growing presence in the local art scene.
In Intimate Reflections, Ozo creates a compelling dialogue between abstract and figurative forms, revealing the intersection of inner consciousness and external experience. His abstract works harness color, texture, and movement to express emotions beyond words, while his figurative pieces ground these sentiments in lived realities and human connections. Together, the collection presents a nuanced visual narrative of personal transformation and self-awareness.
“Art has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of who I am,” shared featured artist Spencer Ozo. “It allows me to navigate personal histories, cultural influences, and emotional truths with honesty and intention. The interplay of light and color throughout my works reflects my belief that clarity and hope can emerge even amid uncertainty. Through this collection, I hope to encourage reflection and meaningful conversations about identity, growth, and the shared human experience,” he added.
The exhibition opened in the presence of distinguished guests, including Elizabeth Sy, President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation; Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation; Rupert Hallam, General Manager of Conrad Manila; and featured artist Spencer Ozo.
