Albie Espinola, a British-Filipino artist born and raised in London, England, held his very first art show in the Philippines on January 9 and 10, 2026 at the 2nd floor showroom of Wheeltek Harley-Davidson of Cavite along Aguinaldo Highway in Imus, Cavite. Dubbed as the “Albie Art Exhibition”, the art show was the first in a planned series of “Brute Meets Art” events where artworks of noted local and foreign artists will be displayed alongside iconic motorcycle models that are marketed by the Wheeltek Group of Companies.

These artwork, which would look great on the tank and fenders of a Harley, are Albie’s series of “Flames” that he painted with mixed media on canvass boards.
A true Harley-Davidson riding enthusiast, Albie rides a customized Road King that he has taken on various rides and road trips around the U.K. He has ridden across the English Channel to ride his Harley around France. He plans to ride around Europe with his wife, Holly, sometime in the near future.

One of the first walk-ins during the opening of Albie’s art exhibit was the art-loving daughter of a Wheeltek customer, who admired Albie’s work.
During his rides, Albie encountered colorful Harley riders and their fantastic machines that inspired him to paint their images on canvas. He also has a knack for capturing the mechanical beauty of Harley’s air-cooled V-twin engines. The paintings that he brought to the Philippines are just some of the artwork that he has done over the years. His next art shows will be in Dubai, London, and the United States.

She even entertained thoughts of buying and getting on a Harley herself.
