Conrad Manila proudly presents the 42nd edition of its signature Of Art and Wine series with Intimate Reflections by Spencer Ozo, currently on exhibit at Gallery C until 26 September 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 inspiring experiences for guests, 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 a growing presence in the local art scene.
In Intimate Reflections, Ozo creates a compelling dialogue between abstract and figurative forms, revealing the intersection between 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 amidst 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 esteemed 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.

About The Artist
Spencer Ozo
Spencer Ozo is a contemporary artist whose practice moves fluidly between abstraction and figuration. Working across portraiture, geometric compositions, and floral imagery, his paintings reflect a deep engagement with observation, emotion, and the complexity of everyday experience.
Ozo approaches art as an evolving visual diary, allowing each work to respond to personal thoughts, shifting moods, and lived moments. Rather than limiting himself to a single subject or style, he embraces variation as a natural extension of the human condition. His works invite viewers to look closely and find resonance within their own inner landscapes. Born and raised in Baguio City, Spencer’s art is greatly influenced by the varied nature and culture of the region.
