integral to ones restoration and conversion.

WRITE UP ON ART PIECES
Paalam Anak II
Egai Talusan Fernandez, 2020
Soft pastel on paper
Paalam, Anak II
Executed by noted social realist Egay Talusan Fernandez,
at the inception of the pandemic in 2020, at a time when mystery surrounded the
Corona virus. Many doctors and nurses caught the virus from their patients and
surroundings. Many died.
Paalam Anak II depicts a mother, tucking in her daughter
in bed, shortly before going off to her nightly hospital duties, not knowing
whether this goodbye is for now or for all time.
CELESTE
by Impy Pilapil
1984
Painted during that historical interlude between the
assassination of Ninoy Aquino in 1983 and the Edsa Revolution in 1986. The
economy was in shambles and people were getting restless. Pilapil's silkscreens
on double glass call to mind the confetti floating down in protest from
buildings on Ayala Avenue, a prelude to the overthrow of the government.
Per noted art critic Eric Torres:
“Tension occurs between symmetrical static vertical
stripes and tiny vertical flakes, fluttering across them…..As one shifts his
point of view from one side of the work to the other, he experiences optical
illusions of lines blending, expanding and contracting, of linear and spatial
transmutations, working on him. All this illusionism is but another aspect of
Pilapil’s penchant for beguiling the eye…..”

painting
LA JOTA
NA Carlos V. Francisco
1948
Watercolor on paper
National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco’s LA JOTA
captures the elegance and refinement of this Philippine dance. In this
extraordinary work, Francisco portrays not only a dance routine; he also
gracefully depicts the characters’ playful spirit.

BEADED HEADDRESS
Hand-beaded headdress from the Kuchi nomads of Afghanistan.
There aren't very many of them left practicing their traditional nomadic
lifestyle since some have become farmers or settled in towns and cities, and
with the present situation, they will probably be dispersed further, making this
piece a prized cultural and artisanal relic.
