Katribu, Kapwa Pilipino
Katribu, Kapwa Pilipino: Ang mamuhay sa diwa ng ating pagkakakilanlan at pagmamalasakit sa ating kapwa tribo sa Pilipinas.
Sa Pilipinas, ang diwa ng "katribu" (kapwa tribo) at "kapwa" (nakabahaging pagkakakilanlan) ay naglalaman ng malalim na koneksyon sa pagitan ng mga katutubong grupo at ng mas malawak na pamayanang Pilipino. Itinatampok nito ang kahalagahan ng pagkilala at paggalang sa ating mga kultural na pinagmulan, habang pinalalakas din ang pagkakaisa at pagkakaunawaan sa iba't ibang tribo. Sa pamamagitan ng pamumuhay sa diwa ng "kapwa," kinikilala natin na tayong lahat ay magkakaugnay, at ang pag-aalaga sa isa't isa ay isang pinagsamang responsibilidad. Ang pakiramdam ng sama-samang pag-aari at pangangalaga sa isa't isa ay nagpapatibay sa mga buklod na nagbubuklod sa atin bilang isang tao, na nagpapahintulot sa atin na mapanatili ang ating kultural na pamana at matiyak ang pagpapatuloy nito sa mga henerasyon.

It is held in place by an inner headband and a chinstrap.It is also spelled as salacot in Spanish and salacco inFrench.

Magsasalakot are the people who make salakot. During my childhood me, my family and neighbours were fabricating salakot, always under time pressure to finish in time, in order to be able to buy rice at the end of the day.
While painting, all kind of nice memories came up in my mind.

Rembrandt and me
"This painting reminds me when I first visited the Netherlands in March 2015. Amsterdam is the home town of my husband who was born and raised in this great city. It was also the first time I met his whole family. They gave me a warm welcome and we visited Amsterdam all together. On this occasion we visited the Rembrant Plein. It was grey, cold rainy unforgettable day =D."
ART OF RESILIENCE
(ART SHOPPING au Carrousel du Louvre)
du 18 au 20 juin
My heart is part of everything that I paint. For me art is to state an opinion or feeling. By making a concept from artist emotion it can easily portray our point of view weather it is bright or dark, sad or happy. Art of resilience project represents how am I as a Filipino artist has courage, willing to confront agony and be aware what’s happening in our world during this pandemic.
