I am a dreamer. I dream that someday I can be an artist like those AWESOME----COOL----TALENTED and AMAZING painters and visual artists out there! You know that feeling when you're looking at the paintings or any visual artworks hanged on the wall, each with its different colors, medium, sizes, style or whatsoever portraying different emotions, it feels like they're pulling you towards them until you're drawn and BOOOM "hey wake up!"--- you're just simply mesmerized and charmed? ? ? I hope you know what I'm talking about, I'm kind of like weird sometimes, but yeah, seriously, that's what I feel everytime I'm in an art exhibit hehehe. For short, I'm LOOKING at THOSE ARTWORKS LIKE I'M LOOKING AT THE MOON AND STARS...breath-taking...
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
Today, February 24, 2015 I visited an annual exhibit at the University of Bohol where the Bachelor of Fine Arts Major in Advertising Arts and Interior Design students showcase their best artworks, it's the PINUGA SA HUNAHUNA 16th ART EXHIBIT by the UB-College of Architecture and Fine Arts (located at the 4th Floor of the UB ST Building (CAFA Atrium).
I've always been a fan or a SUKI visitor in their exhibits since 2011 and now 2015 on their 16th year I DEFINITELY WON'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD... (just thinking of missing it this year kills me, :P ) . So I just wanna say "KUDOS! Professors and Studes of UB-CAFA, you nailed it and shook my world again.
The artworks in the exhibit are all AWE-INSPIRING and MAGNIFICENT (you should visit them some time) as in ALL OF THEM, i can hardly choose what's the best because all of them are THE BEST, my goodness why are they making it soo hard for me,.. hehe! ! My friends and I have different favorites actually, they like some artworks because they're striking or enticing while me and my other friend like the other ones because they're kind of like mysterious and deep..You know, beauty is everywhere, it's just a matter of how you see it----whether with eyes wide open or heart fast pounding (hehe just a thought)...
Title: BEGGAR'S HOPE by Student Artist Elvin P. Vitor |
I haven't seen any artist note or the description of the artwork, so I'll just say what came into my mind upon seeing the painting. When you look at the painting closely and see that smile from the old man's face (yeah, that's it, you see that? ?" I call that HOPE! That's how I relate the painting to the title itself.. I've never experienced begging in the streets so I can never fully understand how it feels to be a beggar but it doesnt mean that I've never been one before (maybe I've been a beggar sometimes, i just didn't notice it--beggar in some other ways perhaps). To beg means to ask something you need, something you lack...that means your life is hard, painful maybe or empty-----if you would imagine the life of a beggar and experience walking on their shoes, I think projecting a genuine smile is hard to do, but that man on the painting manages to do so...Isn't it what we call HOPE?.. (Well, that's how I interpret the painting, how about you?).. I was really amazed, the painting, the artist and the way he made me feel..Heart-warming....Extraordinarily detailed artwork..

Probably the most colorful and heart-touching artwork I've ever seen and classy at the same time. I was drawn by this painting and it made me feel all the feels in the world. I felt sooo captivated and amazed on how the artist made me feel that the closer and longer I look at the it, the more it becomes real (it's not an abstract though) but I just felt these variety of emotions battling in the inmost part of my being. Those adorable-innocent green eyes create a sweet lullaby to my soul. The artist is quite sentimental in nature and I think he really did an excellent job.

STILL LIFE PAINTINGS by Student Artist Mariel Louise Cerio |
Everytime I see artworks created by female artists, it makes me feel soooo proud and happy. Just looking at these two fascinating paintings wipes all my uncertainties and fear of doing some things that I love. As a woman, seeing other women who chose to shine by using their God-given talents creating something wonderful and beautiful art for the whole world to see is sooo empowering and motivating. I'm greatly inspired. I salute! Aside from pure and natural talent, I believe they have great and effective mentors as well.
I actually have a lot of FAVORITES, some really blew my mind away and some brought me to the world beyond my imaginations. And I don't want to miss the chance of telling everyone to visit this exhibit because I assure you, your visit will be WORTH IT. A lot to expect and a lot of incredible artworks for your eyes to see and heart to feel.
