(I have to apologize beforehand for the lack of coherence in my sentences. There are a lot of things that happened in the span of two months that I'm trying to fit in one entry. Also, this is a photodump post. With that said: please read on)

The Philippine art scene is such a wonderful thing!
The first quarter of 2013 is a glimpse of what's in store for the upcoming months. Art everywhere!

1. This is a bit too late but Artfair Philippines happened a month ago. I went there with a couple of friends to check out artworks from different galleries. What I like about this event was how they turned a carpark into an interactive space! Good job




Painting by Hannah Pettyjohn


My favorite series. Mark Justiniani's works depicting depth through optical illusion. Cool!






Rabbit sculpture by Salvador Alonday 


2. Nelfa Querubin's restrospective show at Ayala Museum. This is brilliantly titled "Terrain". Her ceramic works are one of a kind, colorful and a true mastery of the craft. We went to the opening last March 4, 2012 and boy, do I have a lot of questions to ask about technique! As of the moment, her other ceramic works are also being displayed in two other galleries (Izukan Gallery, Makati and Liongoren Gallery in Cubao)






3. Art in the Park 
This is my first time to participate in Art in the Park with Ang InK members. This is also a first in physically selling my illustrations to the public and it feels good especially that there are people out there that appreciates your work!



Art in the Park happened on March 16, 2013 at Salcedo Park, Makati
There was a good number of people who attended the event. I saw old, familiar and new faces. 
It rained for a while but it was a blessing in disguise.

I wasn't able to take much pictures. None with my works, actually.
So here are takes from the other booths

Big mask faces. 



The potter's booth! 



And my first big buy. Tessy Pettyjohn's bowl
I've been eyeing on this one since the fieldtrip and it feels really good to own one of her works, finally!


End.
I really enjoy going to art events and just breathing in all the creative vibes from both the work and the people! Kudos to Philippine art!
