Price: 600 CAD – Market Scene 30” x 48” Acrylic on Canvas 2018 A typical scenario in my hometown’s public market during afternoon rush hours where everybody goes last minute grocery shopping before going home. I wonder if they still do trading things/barters nowadays.
24”x36” Acrylic on Canvas 2018 “Last Winter” A figurative representation on the search for beauty and delight in a mundane environment of winter and coldness. The shades of blue somehow brings comfort and softness in this extreme condition while the momentary sparkles of silver gives a notion of hope as it blinks on certain angles like a frozen water vapor formed in clear still weather. Last Winter brings a feeling of hope, persistence and comfort when darkness is longer than daytime and all you seek is the warmth of love and joy. My sincere gratitude to you Kuya Bong and Ate Pearlie for acquiring this piece.=)
300CAD 3ftx3ft Mixed Media on Canvas – A commission work for a young couple. One of the important reflections I gained while working on this art was temperament; the understanding how to restrain ones self in order to serve a certain purpose. When I was still new to art, I attempted fearlessly complicated realistic figures to satisfy my craving to perfection and idealism and also to test where am I at in my knowledge in art. As I was delving more about my art, I became more and more particular with complexity and its visual impact aspiring to impress the public’s eye while gradually loosing my “Whys” in the process. Then I realized that art doesnt have to be that way. It’s not all about showcasing how good you are, sometimes you have to hold back for the sake of art…as in music, one doesnt have to show off ones vocal range all the time to make good music. Be friends with art and dont compete with it. One may be so good that he could embody the persona of a master but never can precede the nobleness of the nature of Art. Temperament in art is a stage in the artist’s journey where one acknowledges that art is not just about the artist but most of the time its about relevance, the shared experience and delight for the meaning. Thank you Mendiola family for your trust.
