Art is the Food of Our Souls

10/24/2011

It was a challenge when I joined the Labing Isang Daliri Art Exhibit by UP Painters' Club in 2006 since I know that the participants always do great with their paintings. So I prepared well with my entry which is a set of three paintings related to each one. 
Picture
"Almusal," "Tanghalian" at "Hapunan" are all abstracts paintings which the story is connected with each painting. Each one is made of acrylic in canvas and I framed it with scrapped Nara woods. The paintings are mixtures of modern and traditional art. I used different colors and accented it with gold. I executed different techniques with the paintings to express the semblance of textures, shapes, colors and compositions. I wanted to show contemporary ideas that reflect the art and its social relevance of the time.

Just like the other paintings, it tells a lot of stories. But on my paintings, stories are always hidden. It is the challenge of each eye to appreciate this work of art, understanding what it really says.

Cool paintings. Well, like any other paintings, it does tell stories. It's how the beholder sees it.

Thank you. I love paintings especially when they have meaningful stories. But abstract paintings are really challenging because the meanings are hidden. :)

Pardon me for I beg to disagree that art is the food of our souls. For me, art strengthens our souls. Good arts edify them. But the scriptures are the spiritual foods of our souls.

Ang ganda naman. But I'll be honest with you - I don't always understand what's behind a piece of art seriously but I do appreciate arts and artists. And sooo with you on the title of your post.

I love abstract paintings. I know it was done with too much emotions. I guess it's even harder to do than usual visual painting. Good job!

I just arrived from Bencab Museum in Baguio. I think Mr. Bencab would love to have your paintings on his collection from various artist all over the Philippines. You have a lot of potential. Hone it.

Back in the days, I enjoy covering art exhibits, painting contests and that write about art, I miss those days seeing your work. I wouldn't be surprised if a gallery anywhere in the world contacts you and be featured in theirs...been seeing our talents around the world being tapped...you're next for sure.

I never considered myself an artist, so my opinion isn't going to be as great. But, I do appreciate that art is a necessary avenue of self expression. To try and express something that you cannot simply express in words.

Great art! Great pictures! Goodjob!

I was raised in a household with art. I wished I learned from my stepfather (http://mtevangelista.tripod.com).
