Art on a Plate - Anita Magsaysay Ho, Bencab, HR OCampo, Joya and More

My collection of limited edition art decor plates has grown. This all started when  someone sold to me Anita Magsaysay-Ho's "Tres Marias" at P500 during the time I see it being sold at P15,000 in Megamall. Of course, I grabbed the opportunity. The man sold it to get it away from his very active five year old. He didn't want to see it breaking and just thought of giving it to someone who could appreciate and take care of it. Thank you , Sir!

My "Tres Marias" was the seed that kept me looking for more limited edition plates with the artworks of Filipino masters and National Artists. Today I have a number of them and they bring a smile to my face every single day.

Calamba, Laguna: House of Dr. Jose Rizal and the St. John de Baptist Church

Image
The present house/museum is just a replica of the original ancestral house of Rizal's family; the old house was destroyed during World War II. It was President Quirino who ordered the reconstruction of the national hero's home through the supervision of National Artist/architect Juan Nakpil and was inaugurated in 1950. The national hero Dr. Jose Rizal was christened at the church now called Saint John the Baptist Parish on   June 22, 1861 when he was only three days old.  The baptismal transcript  is displayed on the left wall near the entrance of the church, making the temple not only a sacred place for worship but also a historical piece. With Resolution Order No. 2 of August 19, 1976, the church was formally declared as a National Historic landmark. St. John the Baptist Parish Calamba Laguna It was Holy Thursday then.

Juan Luna's A Do...Va La Nave? Paris, 1885

  A Do ... Va La Nave ? Paris, 1885 Juan Luna Next Saturday, the wealthiest art patrons of the country will be outbidding each other to bring home this long lost Juan Luna painting. This would be an auction to watch! The painting found its way back home, from Paris to Cordoba to Manila. I am hoping an institution or a museum like the National Museum would win it but if a private individual with tons of moolah gets to bring it home, it will never again be available for the publi c to view. This noon, I decided to visit the auction preview at Rockwell to see the painting in actual. It is beyond awesome! I thought about how crazy Luna was to kill his wife in a fit of jealousy but I also thought of how undeniably talented he is. Of course there are the priceless "Spoilarium" and the controversial P47M "Parisian Life" paintings now at the National Museum that are testaments to this Filipino's genius but my personal appreciation of art chooses "A Do......

Roel Obemio: Knowing the Man

Image
Mid-May i got the above invitation from Galerie Francesca. Wonderful! I have a Roel Obemio painting which I purchased last year from an individual and it wasn't accompanied by a certificate. It was my chance to have it authenticated and certified by no less the artist himself. I was glad to have attended. I got to know the man behind the paintings that plaster a smile on my face. Obemios are colourful and whimsical. They brighten up every wall you hang them on. The influence of the Colombian painter Fernando Botero is there. Boterism, voluminous figures stare at you. Nonetheless, the faces of the characters are distinctly Obemio's. It was great that Galerie Francesca held this night for supporters of Roel Obemio to know the man. It makes your collection of Obemios or even just one painting of his, more meaningful. You get to understand why most of his paintings has a moon in it and why his characters can only afford half a smile. Thanks to Galerie Francesca for the opp...
