Exhibitions
Kulay-Diwa is a venue for Philippines and Southeast Asian Contemporary Art. Inaugurated on February 7, 1987, Kulay-Diwa, is strategically located within a cluster of communities South of Manila. It has five independent exhibition areas able to accommodate large-scale works and a garden ideal for programs, performances and sculpture installations. The goals of the gallery are to discover and promote the works of young, talented but deserving Filipino Artists and to foster cultural interaction and exchanges with the local regions and other countries.

Using visual icons of "Filipino Nationalism" I need not explain, for I know that they are deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of all Filipinos.

Description:
A 2006 Oil on canvas, "Coralscape" based on an old pastel sketch of a small broken coral I found in a beach in Matood, Batangas, Philippines. My fascination for seemingly insignificant organic found objects went on for some time and I am bound to repeat the cycle this year 2006 on large format oils on canvas, now that I have somehow gotten my creative juice back from the effects of anaesthesia due to my appendectomy.

This is a closer view of the fourth stage from the first which was an oil wash in black and white. Second stage was adding yellow. Colors may be added as one goes on, both possible even when previous oil applied is dry or wet. A more relaxed approach to oil painting that gives me much pleasure allowing me to pay more attention to details. Try it if you do an oil on canvas.

Description:
Merging foreground, middleground and infinity has always been my preoccupation when composing an artwork. Here's one I did based on early sketches I did of a female figure and a close up of her eyes, if you notice them . . "Your body is the temple of God", says St. Paul. Only after we have realized what this means can we really start to see.

An oil painting version of a wild Rose, inspired by the hymn "ROSE of SHARON", my mother's favorite before she went to her final and heavenly home with Jesus. JESUS, ROSE OF SHARON Words: Ida A.

Description:
Jesus Christ is our yardstick to be pleasing in God's sight. We become sons of the father if we do things the way Jesus did when he was physically here on earth. Christ has nothing to do with religion, but he has everything to do with the truth, for he was, he is and he will always be the way, the truth and the life.

In the '80's, these images came to me in a dream when I was a student at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, Germany and had translated the dream using pastels on Cornelius paper. It's 2006 now and somehow I now have the urge to do abstract, organic landscapes again on large format canvases like this one.
