In 1995 the year he began anew ,Espiritu became interested in painting figures of family life, mother and child, lovers, scenes of harvest and market life in vibrant colors. Evident in his early paintingswere the accentuated big hands and bowed bodies of figures. In 2020 ,Espiritu began incorporating variousarreangements of triangles, arcs, circles, undulating curves, spirals, whirlpools and other assorted shapes in his figures pieces as seen in his paintings, Harvest, which echoes the geometric patterns earluer espoused by Gustav Klimt. "Studying the sorroundings help me createwhat insee around me. "Epiritu points out "The colors and composition tha I put in my works are the products of my imagination and observation of nature.
