PhP 65,000.00
There is a connection between listening and language. Sight and sound play a role that arouses awareness, not only for greater appreciation of nature but also for preserving them.
Art and music play a role in the advocate for nurturing the ecosystem. The medium of sound and its lyrical influence is a humanistic force. The metaphors of poetic imagery are aesthetics in art that communicates visually in an enduring force of civilization. Such influence and force make an advocate focused and global.
Let it be seen and heard for a greater awareness!

"Alaala Mo, Daigdig Ko" by Malyn Bonayog72"x36" oil on canvas (2009)
PhP 60,000.00
"The old wooden houses are as unique as the family that lived under their roofs. Embracing its old designs, structures, and styles are the same as embracing the old values of the Filipino family, culture and heritage. But like an endangered species, some of the values and these wooden houses are vanishing toward certain extinction. What once embodied the character of the urban landscape and the heart of Filipino life will be blown away by the wind of progress."
Malyn Bonayog is an artist from Nueva Ecija with painting diplomas from the University of the Philippines. Active on the local gallery circuit, Bonayog's exhibition credits include participation in numerous group exhibitions of note in Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasay, Quezon City and Bataan, and shows under the auspices of the UP Artists' Circle.

"The Man With a Thousand Dreams" by Wilfredo Offemaria72"x36" oil on canvas (2009)

"Isang Beteranong Sundalo ang taas noong nakatayo. Ngunit bakas sa kanayang mukha ang pag aalala na ang kanyang ipinaglabang bayan ay tila ba di pa din nakalalaya sa bulok na sistema. Sa dapithapon ng kanyang buhay patuloy pa din siyang nakamasid sa mga eroplanong papel na simbolo ng kanyang mga pangarap. Ang ilang dito'y tuluyan ng bumagsak, ang ibay matayog ang lipad subalit panandalian lamang. Subalit kahit ganito patuloy ang pag gawa nya ng eroplanong papel...patuloy din ang kanyang pangarap at pagasang makakamit din ng bansang kanyang pinag laban ang tunay na kalayaan."

"Penoy" by Manny Garibay (RESERVED)48"x24" oil on canvas (2009)
PhP 85,000.00
“Penoy” is an arrested duck embryo, referring to the unfulfilled potential of the Philippines as a nation.
Manny Garibay is one of the most critically acclaimed and decorated Filipino artists today. Amanda Watson of the South China Morning Post once wrote that "(h)is works include strong expressions of Filipino spirituality and (he) rejects colonial religious models which he feels create an identity crisis that prevents his people from assessing their situation from their own perspective."
Ian Findlay Brown, Editor of Asian Art News adds that "the rawness of Garibay's images is immediately arresting to the eye... colors and hues are rich; the surface textures seem to cry out, even bleed his message (not one that is entirely direct or facile). One has to think carefully on his works. His overlayings of images, a common device, for example, suggest to the viewer that behind each surface image is much, much more to be revealed."
Born in 1962, Manny Garibay was given the prestigious Thirteen Artists Award by the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2000.
"T-Shirt ni Juan" by Roel Obemio (RESERVED)72"x36" acrylic on canvas (2009)
PhP 95,000.00
Roel Obemio's glowing acrylic paintings CANVAS' children's book Message in the Sand are inspired by the art of two great artists - Fernando Botero (Colombia), and Mauro Malang Santos (Philippines) - but are entirely original, and the unique and endearing characters in MESSAGE IN THE SAND are tenderly and amusingly rendered.
Roel completed his studies at the University of the East, in the Philippines, where he majored in painting.
"The Rise of Juan Tamad" by Lotsu Manes (RESERVED)48"x24" oil on canvas (2009).
PhP 45,000.00
The good news is that Juan Tamad is a changed man. He has finally made an effort to rise and reach for the guava, his aspirations in life, his dreams, his goals, his job, whatever . The sad news is that, it is still unreachable. Society has made that goal so difficult to reach that no amount of rising can bring Juan closer to his dreams. Or maybe not just yet. He needs to exert more effort to prove himself. For true change is not just a physical activity but is a matter of determination.
Lotsu Manes received early recognition when he won First Prize at the 1996 Shell National Student's Art Competition. He is a core member of TutoK, the initiative of visual artists formed in 2006. As a senior apprentice for Art Conservation and Restoration Specialists (ACES) in the Philippines, Lotsu was privileged to have participated in the restoration of important works by National Artists Jose Joya and Carlos ‘Botong’ Francisco, and even the famed national treasure Spoilarium by Juan Luna.
Lotsu obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Major in Painting from the Philippine Women’s University in 1997.
"Juan Sagwan" by Conneth Amido72"x36" acrylic on canvas (2009)
PhP 80,000.00
“JUAN SAGWAN” symbolizes the cheerful nature ng pamilyang Pinoy. With his small boat and limited possession he tries hard to swirl his way out to improve their lives. Even with the harsh waves of living in a 3rd world country he smiles because in his arms he holds his biggest catch.
