ARTipolo Joined ART in the Park 2022 in Partnership with Kulay Art Group

ART in the Park is a yearly event much awaited by art lovers, art enthusiasts, art collectors, and of course, the participating artists. Previously, it was held for about a week or two in the park at Makati, from which the event got its name. ARTipolo Group has been participating since last year through its partnership with Kulay Art Group, a regular exhibitor in the said event headed by one of ARTipolo's active members, Mr. Tam Urao. Leading artists and young upcoming artists by ARTipolo group added to the collections of art pieces on sale. Art enthusiasts and collectors love this particular event because they can avail masterpieces at a reasonable price. It also paves the way for new artists who would be, in the future, big names in this field.

In 2022, several art pieces were again exhibited online from Mr. Urao's collection and from ARTipolo Group led by Mr. Pol Mesina, Jr. You would see decorative art pieces of various themes. We invite you to visit our group's entries if you are searching for an art piece for luck or beautifying your homes. Simply click on the images below to be brought to the specific page on the "Art in the Park" website.

The good thing about this year's online exhibit is that the website allows the buyers to see the details of each piece by zooming in on the photos. Also, it now has a virtual wall view to see how it would appear on walls relative to its size.

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to comment or message us, and we will try to reply as soon as possible.

Come and see the exhibit! You may find a rare gem among these art pieces.  Art in the Park 2022 runs from April 24 to May 1, 2022.

Describing the Strength and Love of Women with my Art

 

"Transcend", this was the initial title of my last work.  Then, to honor motherhood, I have added another image and renamed this work "El Nacimiento", which means "The Birth".

Look closely and tell me what you see.  It may look like just some splashes of white, blue, and ultra marine colored paints.  But do you see the gold relief?  

For art appreciation, allow me to tell you what it means for me.  But please, don't be limited by these interpretation.  You may have your own story to tell with this painting.  Feel free to share it in the comment.

Here it goes...

Women are different in every aspect but what endears most is that they are soft, fragile, yet strong and resilient.  

• Mothers are modern day martyrs.  They show their love by giving the best to their children and sacrifices their own gratification, because their joy emanates from the happiness of their love ones.
• Grandmothers never runs out of love.  Though they grow weak physically with age, yet still their love and care are bountiful and can last until they see their grandchildren walks the aisles.
• Sisters are like little women who leads their younger siblings, to grow with love and with faith.  They are like the closest friends we can even have.
• Colleagues supports and give their cooperation without being asks.  When they see you needing a hand, their heart grows soft and offers their hands.

There are still lots of affirmation I can list about women and we will run out of space.  To capture them in a symbolic painting, I made this painting using the expressionism and abstraction.  It was initially called "Transcend" because they are as how this word is defined - "be or go beyond the range or limits ".

The black represents the dark side of our current situation (i.e. pandemic)

The blue color represents the challenges.

The marine color represents how deep their thoughts are

The white represents the purity of their heart and sour

and the gold represents their value

I used acrylic pour to show the fluidity on how women adapt to the environment.  And like stars in heaven, the profile of a women shines bright.  They go beyond their means and overcome any obstacles with the help of God.  They drew strength from their faith, hopes and love.
