"Water & Bread are enough for everyone" International Group Exhibition
The past couple of months were particularly tough and difficult to bear. When time is not on your side and science is no longer the answer, you turn to divine intervention and pray for a miracle. Suddenly, every single day becomes precious you wish it wouldn’t end. You try to be present in the moment, appreciate even the simplest things and gestures along the way. But as the saying goes, some good things must come to an end. Come first of May, an angel dear to us earned his wings and flew to a peaceful place.
Losing a loved one is a devastating feeling. Your world abruptly stops. Tears won’t stop flowing;
the feeling of sadness envelops you. Yes, it’s okay to not be okay, but only for a while; because eventually life must go on. Allow yourself to grieve and then you pick up from where you left off, go back to your daily grind, and breathe.
For all its worth, I have realized that life indeed is short and fleeting. That nothing is permanent or forever thus we should make the most of our time. Be happy. Pursue your passion. Be grateful even for the little things that you have. Take risks. Appreciate the beauty of life. Because we only live once.

" Black spot."
I am really enjoying these creations as I am never sure how they will work out. In this piece what interested me was the black spot in the middle of it, it was not intentional but when I finished I saw it and now it stands out. Black spot is an interesting piece.

We need to make work that matters for the people who care about our Art. It is easy to be average it takes little effort and low risk, but it will always be average work.
To make work that matters takes risk and emotional energy and we invest something in it that average doesn’t have, the desire for constant improvement.
Average does not have to improve, it’s just average and that is easy to do and nobody cares. Consistent improvement can be measured, we will see the improvement in our work, because it matters to you the creator and to the people who care about your Art. It always matters.
Work that matters is consistently making our Art better.
Somelessons you learn once, and they last lifetime. I loved to bake as a child, and one day, I put a bowl of batter in the oven toaster with the metal whisk I was using to stir it. Five minutes later, I pulled the bowl out of the oven and grabbed the hot metal whisk with my bare hand. When I think about it, I can still feel the burn from the metal that took several weeks to heal. Some lessons last a lifetime....and some don't. When I was a little girl, we had a housekeeper for about a month. We came home one day to find that she had stolen several things from our home. "Mommy! Can you believe Agnes stole these things? How could she?!" Mommy barely reacted to this news. "She must have needed them more that we did." I was outraged. "How can you say that? What she did was wrong!" Mommy replied calmly. "Ingrid, you never know what someone else is going through." I wish I'd remember that lesson many years later when I volunteered for Red Cross for a mission at some hospital's emergency room. Patient, medical staff, family members, paramedics, and the intercom created a cacophony of voices. People were shouting and running, beeps and buzzers were going off, and the phones were ringing constantly. There was a separate phone used for patient calls. It's distinctive ring was as welcome as a hammer to my skull on this frenetic day. Just my luck, I was at a desk next to the room of a patient who called every five minutes. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! First she called for ice chips.
She needed her bed to be raised; she needed her bed lowered. She needed the phone, and then she needed the phone hung up. Every request she had was heralded by that awful BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I could have handled it if she asked for what she needed in a normal voice. Instead, she whined each request, as if she was at death's door, which I'm sure she was not. "Ooh," she whined, "I need the TV remote." Anyone whose biggest problem is not being able to reach the TV remote has it good in the emergency room, wouldn't you say? I mean, we were in a major trauma center. There were people getting CPR, coming in with gunshot wounds,, or rushing to surgery as soon as they came through the door, at the same time this woman was whining about not being able to reach the TV remote. I thought it was my chance to help her get a new perspective and realize that really, she had it good. It kind of felt like my duty. Like I'd be doing her a favor. So I said," Well, at least it's just an issue with your TV remote. There are plenty of people here who won't survive the night, so you're doing well to be concerned about watching TV." Her eyes grew wide with shock. Her voice softened with the awe of someone who had just been given great wisdom. "Wow. You're right. I should be thankful I'm here and doing okay." I walked out of her room, feeling great about myself. I really did a good thing. I was like a divine messenger. When I got back to the nurses' station, I've decided for kicks to look and see why the woman was in the emergency room in the
first place. Probably a stubbed toe or something lame like that. I looked at her chart....heart transplant recipient.... renal failure....blood transfusions. She was only thirty-five years old. I felt like I'd been hit with a brick. And there she was, thanking me for helping her see that her situation wasn't that bad. That just made it worse. I wanted to walk in there and say, "You know what? You're situation is bad! You want some more ice chips?" I may not have a physical scar to show, but the shock and shame I felt after reading that woman's chart went far deeper than the burn from the metal whisk. Some lessons last a lifetime. But I know enough now to remind myself that I'm only seeing part of the picture. Maybe the woman in the hospital called me into her room because she didn't want to be alone. Maybe she was scared. I don't know. And that's the point. We never know what someone else is going through, whether it's a housekeeper stealing from her employer, a woman in the hospital incessantly using her call button, or someone who cuts you off on the highway. We never know what someone else is going through. What we can do is give other people the benefit of the doubt and choose to show them kindness and compassion. I know it's hard sometimes to feel compassion for someone who is really rude or annoying. That's when I create silly stories in my head to explain their behavior. Making up silly stories helps me lighten up. It helps me remember that I'm only seeing one snippet of this person's life. They could be longing for a breath of kindness and compassion. And that's something I can give.

Here’s the good news: Artists can have economically sustainable careers. You can be successful in the art business! Here’s the challenging news: Artists still see themselves as being outside of the usual economic system. Art collectors, organizations, and even art schools prey on this attitude; they expect artists to display their artwork for free and provide services as unpaid or low-paid interns and part-time staff.
So, what’s to be done, and what are some of the sources of income for artists? The short answer is to shift your attitude, stand up for your economic rights, educate yourself about business and finance issues, and develop strategies to sell your art and create that successful art business.
The starving artist is a prevailing archetype. It’s well-documented by Puccini in La Bohème, later reprised and updated by Jonathan Larson in his 1990s rock opera RENT. It’s echoed in the myth of Basquiat, whose paintings now sell at auction for over $100 million. This outmoded notion keeps many people from choosing art as a career.
Being an artist can be a sustainable career choice if you’re willing to rethink what that means to you. It’s important to see yourself as a self-employed business owner. The business you own is that which conceives of, creates, and distributes your art. Crass as it may seem, you’re in the manufacturing industry; there’s merchandise, inventory, marketing, sales channels, and cost of goods sold.
This is the view of Amy Davila, who founded ArtSmart, a consulting firm based in Los Angeles that helps artists create sustainable livelihoods. Davila discusses the emotional blockage. “Artists have fallen victim to the romantic idea that in order to make great art they must suffer. This antiquated construct perpetuates and continues to plague artists, resulting in feelings of guilt, confusion and shame. Artists want that financial success and independence, but they stop short of embracing it for fear of selling out or placating the market.”
Working with artists, Davila focuses on three goals — exposure, context, and financial independence. Once Davila has convinced her artist clients that it’s OK to want to be financially successful, she helps with the practical things — setting up a legal business entity, financial management and advising, cash flow management, budgeting, general bookkeeping and accounting, payroll, tax planning, inventory database management, gallery liaison — all the things that most artists need but are often not willing or able to do themselves.
Outsourcing business and financial management is not an option for everyone — so what are some practical first steps? There is no shortage of basic business and financialplanning texts.
Dave Ramsey’s The Total Money Makeover, Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass at Making Money and Laina Buenostar’s Happy Money are all personal-finance bestsellers. A book I found transformative is Jerrod Mundis’ Earn What You Deserve: How to Stop Underearning and Start Thriving. Books like these not only offer practical advice but also begin to change the inherent “underearner” attitude to which so many artists seem to capitulate. There are also basic courses on financial planning and business management — both online and in-person. Browse Coursera’s online course offerings at coursera.org. Look for your local Small Business Administration chapter at sba.gov. Check out some of their online tools, like how to draft a basic business plan — then write a business plan!
The Foundation Center is a more art-focused resource. Not only does it offer a comprehensive database to search funding opportunities, but it also gives courses, many of which are available later as podcasts, on the basics of art-business management. Local nonprofits also offer programs, but getting into one is often competitive. Check with your local art museums and nonprofits to see what exists near you. One nationally recognized program is Springboard for the Arts, in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Another critical strategy for your art business is to develop a market for your art. In the United States, there are myriad outlets for fine art sales. This includes intermediaries like commercial and nonprofit galleries, various web-based businesses and, of course, direct-to-collector sales. Perhaps the most extensive survey of the art market is the study commissioned annually by The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF).
Commercial galleries sell the work of their artists, who typically get solo exhibitions every second year. These galleries sell to private collectors, sell, and place work in museum collections, develop public relations, procure commissions and rent booths at art fairs. Galleries are also increasingly selling artists’ works via web-based strategies.
As an artist, it’s important to circulate — or at least have your work circulate and get seen, talked about, written about and shared on social media. Let others recommend you to gallerists. As Benjamin Tischer of Invisible Exports on New York’s Lower East Side says, “If another artist recommends an artist, we more than likely do a studio visit. The same holds true with curators and collectors. In the eight years we have existed, we have only shown two random submissions, both in group contexts.”
While galleries are approaching their clients and attracting new clients over the web, so are artists who sell work directly, bypassing the gallery system or working alongside their galleries with direct “studio sales.” Sometimes, represented artists will pay a small percent to their gallery as a courtesy; other times not, as negotiated in advance. Some artists work exclusively as their own sales agents. The advent of Instagram, in particular, makes this possible.
Nashville-based artist Shane Miller was the subject of a Forbes magazine article for his success in selling via Instagram. To quote Marion Maneker of the Art Market Monitor, a popular art-and-business blog, “Miller’s ‘aha’ moment with Instagram came when he reached out to Instagram influencer Ruthie Lindsey, a friend with a large following in March 2017. ‘She had 90,000 followers and I asked if she’d trade a painting for a promoted post,’ he says. ‘When we met up she brought a friend who had 1.2 million followers with her, and he liked my work and ended up showcasing it on his
feed.’ Almost overnight, Miller’s following ballooned from 500 to 3,500; today it’s a respectable 4,279.”
The bottom line is this: Don’t sell yourself short. Sustaining yourself as an artist is an attainable goal — and one that will help you reach your creative potential. You can have a successful art business. Go for it!

Get up close and personal with Filipino art patron Virgilio Cuizon as he proves how steely discipline, single – minded focus, a deep passion for Filipino art, and a signature fashion sense that makes you go “Wow! That’s hot!” is a sure key to success.
I’ve heard so much of him and read enough about him to know that he is this larger – than – life visual storyteller and art patron who has mentored so many young Filipino artists who have gone from up-andcoming to well-established names in the Philippine art scene.
But coming face-to-face with the Virgilio Cuizon, I was not prepared and was quite surprised that he is as down – to – earth and fatherly solicitous as your favorite uncle who serves up a delicious spread of local culinary delights in a house filled to the brim with a lot of art. Every inch of the walls is chockful with a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes and forms that they almost seem to come alive next to the endless parade of creative souls that come in and out of the house’s main entrance.
The whole space breathes with so much talent and creativity you get the feeling of being inside a living gallery or museum, with the people themselves as images in the much – larger artwork that is life. It was the middle of the week one March evening, and Mang Ver is serving chicken adobo, ginisang monggo, and a choice of fresh pineapple slices or ice cream for dessert. The night is still young and the endless chatter is what else, art!
I tried to recall the questions I wanted to ask in my head, but Mang Ver would have nothing of it. He gently suggest ”Let’s eat first, and then we can get down to business a little later.” Now that was my kind of thing. A strong believer in nothing gets done well on an empty stomach, I stood up, took a plate and joined the throng of art people making a beeline for the dining table.
It was almost midnight, the lively chatter has gone down to whispers, and we are gathering up the clothes, shoes and accessories in preparation for a major photo shoot in the next few days. As we bid good-bye and with a promise to keep in touch, walking along the moonlit alley towards the highway, I imagined Virgilio Cuizon as this orchestra maestro, and the hundreds, maybe even a thousands of his proteges and mentees, adroitly synchronizing their arty flair and signature styles in a resounding symphony of creative mastery and excellence
.
It all began during his elementary school days in Bolbok, Batangas when the young Ver began painting passenger jeepneys with religious images in what became the iconic look of this legendary mode of transportation. While in high school at the Western
Philippine Colleges, now the University of Batangas, he trained his talents to silk screen, turning the lowly shirts of numerous school organizations in his hometown of Batangas into veritable works of art. He also made personalized cards which became popular for its unique Ver Cuizon artistic flair. Sought – after for his brand of artistry, his passion quickly turned into a lucrative business that earned his keep.
College saw Mang Ver tiptoeing his way through the august halls of Western Philippine Colleges graduating with a Commerce degree, the Mindanao State University, and Siliman University, the last two schools on a National Science Development Board (NSDB) scholarship grant under the Bachelor in Arts program. He also enrolled for a BS Nursing program at the Golden Gate College in Batangas City at the encouragement of a friend who urged him to enroll at the school because the nursing program was teeming with beautiful young girls.
His very first job was as a Youth Worker at the Department of Social Welfare in Batangas City. For a young idealist fresh out of school, this was the perfect opportunity to be up close and personal with the real world and see how he could help alleviate the plight of
promising artist became a street parliamentarian who was eventually forced to leave his beloved motherland and seek refuge in Europe. Working as a nurse in Germany, Ver never lost his patriotic fervor and continued his unrelenting protests against the excesses of the Marcos dictatorship and its growing human rights violations. Always in the hunt for the next adventure, the young Virgilio found his niche among the many bright – eyed and intensely patriotic street parliamentarians who wore their hearts on their sleeves and braved heat, exhaustion and truncheons in the unrelenting fight for democracy.
It was the height of the Marcos dictatorship, and Mang Ver put his love for the arts to pasture and started joining the rallies and protest movement calling for the ouster of the Marcoses from their almost three decades of authoritarian kleptocracy. The bright – eyed
Fearful for his safety and that of his family, Mang Ver was forced to seek refuge elsewhere and found himself in Germany. Alone in the vast unfamiliar landscape of the European nation, he settled as a Nursing Auxiliary at the Alfred Krupp Hospital in Essen, Germany, a job he held for 15 years. Those 15 years saw Virgilio Cuizon moving heaven and earth to make a difference in the lives of his fellow Filipinos, both living overseas and those in his home country. Still very much a warrior and one with a heart for the less fortunate, he sought to unite the many Filipinos in Europe and founded the Barangay Sa Europa e.V. (The Confederation of Filipino Associations in Europe) made up of Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France, and Barangay sa Holland, among others. At the helm of these organizations, he spearheaded numerous cultural and humanitarian activities, rallying his fellow
Filipino “kababayans” to help not just those in need back home in the Philippines but also finding a way to promote and educate the Europeans, particularly the German people, to the unique and colorful ways of the Filipinos. Through his untiring hard work, Mang Ver endeavored to showcase and shine the spotlight on the Filipino people’s distinct talents in the fields of music, dance, arts and fashion. In 1984 he initiated the very first “Pistang Pilipino” in Germany and with the 3-day festivities featuring the first ever “bahay kubo” made from the native bamboo and nipa ever seen on German soil. He organized concerts and exhibitions of the best Filipino performing groups and visual artists, travelling all over Europe, to the delight of the local people. He initiated “Help Build Philipines” and its many projects between 1993 – 1995 such as the construction of classrooms, health centers, sanitary toilets, multi-purpose classrooms and deep wells; and when tragedy struck back home like Typhoon “Ruping,” and the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, he hit the ground running and raised money for the many displaced and affected Filipinos in his native Philippines.
Among his pioneering initiatives while living in Germany were the 1992 Philippine Week Fair in the city of Langerfeld with the biggest bamboo
pavilion ever built in Europe as its centerpiece; acclaimed exhibitions by leading Filipino visual artists like Aner Sebastian, Aris Bagtas, Wilfredo Offemaria, Norman Dreo, Rafael Cusi, Edwin Wiwayco, Rene Robles, Fidel Sarmiento, Noel Catacutan, Giovanni Dela Rosa, Jorge Banawa and Konn Salao, Max Balatbat, Erick Dator, Ronna Manansala, Vincent Gonzales and Rigor Esguerra in places like Berlin, London, Rome and Paris; concerts by top-notch Filipino performers like the College of Immaculate Conception Chorale of Cabanatuan City in 2005, and pioneering contemporary dance ensemble Douglas Nierras’ Powerdance in 2012. While busy with his million and one to-do’s, Virgilio Cuizon also found time to write and direct several stage plays, among them “Jesus Christ Superstar” in the city of Duisburg in 2002, raising DM 20,000.00 to build the operation room of the Mati Hospital in Davao; “Grease” and “Ito ang Pilipino” in 2003, the proceeds of which went to projects of ALAEH e.V., and the sarswela “Bahay sa Baryo” at the Rhein Terrasse Hall in Dusseldorf in 2006.
Driven and doggedly tireless, Mang Ver was also the founding chair of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) Europe, the Vice Chairman and Head of the Arts Sector of the
Batangas Provincial Culture and Arts Council (BCAC), the Germany News Correspondent of ABS-CBN News, Balitang Global, ANC and TV Patrol; special curator and designer of the Gallery of the Development Academy of the Philippines in Tagaytay City; guest curator of the Ricardo Medici Museum in Florence, Italy; the Museum of Young Art (MOYA) in Vienna, Austria; the Chelsea Gallery in London, UK; the Stilwerk Gallery in Berlin, Germany; and the Art Asia Gallery in SM Megamall.
As if his plate isn’t already overflowing, Virgilio Cuizon found precious time to squeeze in being guest curator of the Saint Jose Brussels Belgium Festival and was lead organizer of 13 national and 1 international painting competitions. To say that Mang Ver lived and breathed art is indeed an understatement. A natural leader and a charismatic mentor, Ver makes his dreams come true by making sure that his plans are backed by hard work and purposeful action. An optimist who does not take “No” for an answer, he juggles his time between being a doting father, dedicated journalist, an influential Filcom leader and an indefatigable art patron.
Among the many hats that he wears, Ver finds the deepest connection and fulfillment with his involvement in the arts. His determined efforts to promote Filipino art, culture, tradition and heritage was
first and foremost a way to unite his fellow “kababayans” and inculcate in them a love for his country and a profound sense of nationalism and patriotism. The end of the dreaded dictatorship and shameful fall of the Marcoses from the seat of power did nothing to dampen Virgilio Cuizon’s unrelenting quest to shine the spotlight of the unmatched creativity of the Filipino artists. Back on his motherland, he founded KUNST, the Kapatiran at Ugnayan ng Natatanging Sining at Talento together with popular visual artist Aris Bagtas from Obando, Bulacan; and fellow Batangueno and art connoisseur Abelardo “Bill” Perez. The formidable triumvirate of Ver, Aris and Bill mentored young, up-and-coming visual storytellers, taking them on exhibitions across the country and overseas, and turned them into veritable who’s who in the local contemporary art scene. Ver, the former street parliamentarian and democracy freedom fighter has found a new cause to champion and a calling to work hard for. It was protest without the bloodshed and in its place was a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes and forms that mesmerize and captivate the imagination.
His pioneering efforts didn’t go unnoticed. Virgilio Cuizon was conferred the 2004 Presidential Award (Banaag Category) by no less than then President Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo at the Malacanan Palace for “his contributions in promoting Filipino talent and culture in Europe and for his leadership in organizing events that
provide assistance for the benefits of various communities in the Philippines.” In 2006, his founded organization, ALAEH e,V. became the recipient of the Presidential Award (Linkapil Catetory) in ceremonies held once again at the Malacanan Palace. In 2019 he received the Eminent Person Award, Dangal ng Batangan for dignifying a Batangueno cultural identity and for bringing honor to the province through his invaluable contribution in the field of culture and arts promotion and conservation from Batangas Governor Hermilando I. Mandanas.
KUNST Filipino received the Gawad Pangulo 2021 (Banaag Category), the third Presidential Award in his already well decorated hat, and a much-deserved addition to his burgeoning collection of awards, merits and citations through the years.
The art world has different creative beliefs: never the same vision, style and message. And when it comes to championing Philippine art, Virgilio Cuizon is all gung – ho to celebrate local art in all its forms, shapes and sizes. From the established artistic giants to the up-and-coming new breed of creatives, and everyone and everything else in between, he lovingly takes each one, shining the spotlight on the unique artistry and unfathomable creativity of the Filipino talent, making sure that the world takes notice, reveling in its one-of-a-kind creative flair and giving it a nod of approval from a global audience that expects nothing but the best for the Filipino artist.
“I love everything Filipino --- from the traditional crafts, to modern interpretations --- it’s such a rich, colorful and vibrant treasure trove of unparalleled creations by the oh-so-talented Filipino craftsmen and artists,” Ver says with a proud glint in his eyes. Devoted father, seasoned artist, gifted writer, visionary director, veteran journalist, art patron par excellence, loving mentor and multi-awarded civic leader, Virgilio Cuizon is the living and breathing epitome of the modern – day multihyphenate.
From the early days of painting religious images on jeepneys to the dawn of student activism and street protests; from the bygone days of his native Batangas to the concrete jungles of Europe; from the television screens to the august halls of some of the world’s greatest galleries and museums, Virgilio Cuizon has left an enduring mark in the Philippine art scene like no other. He has remained humble and grounded, steadfast in his commitment, dedicated to his advocacy, true to his roots, and continues to conquer uncharted territories dressed in his distinct, inimitable and signature fashion style that is part Mindanao royalty cum rock star.
Looking back at his storied past, it is safe to say that art was at the cornerstone of each fork, bend and every significant moment.
At an age when most people are taking it slow and enjoying the fruits of their labor, Mang Ver is yet at the verge of another milestone. The art world waits with bated breath what he has in store for the next great adventure.

When Covid-19 became widespread, forcing most of us into quarantine, painter Erin Ashley knew that sales of her work might be few and far between. Like many artists, buyers couldn’t come to her studio or to the art galleries that sell her paintings. But you can’t let a pandemic ultimately ruin your career. “You have to think outside of the box,” says Ashley, and get creative.
One of Ashley’s creative ideas was to send an email blast to her extensive mailing list offering a half-off sale on all of her smaller works. She titled the sale, “The Art of Social Distancing”. The sale only included paintings sized from 6” x 6” to 12” x 12” that are normally priced $150 – $400. By mid-April, she had sold nearly a dozen paintings as part of this effort.
Part of her overall pricing strategy, Ashley shares that another benefit of having periodic sales is that it creates a reason for people to buy art. “It’s also a great way to remind people about my work.”
During economic downturns, artists must be equally creative with the business side of art.
“I feel blessed to be able to sell any art, especially in these trying times,” says Ashley. For her larger works not included in the sale (sizes 24” x 24” and up, and priced between $700 and $6,500), Ashley includes a “Make an Offer” option for these paintings. Buyers may either purchase a piece at the list price on her website or submit an offer that fits their budget. Ashley adds, “All offers will be considered but not guaranteed.”
Ashley notes that she has reduced prices on her work in the past during times of economic uncertainty. And buyers returned to the regular prices after the worst was over. “Even though I cut my prices (periodically), I still have to come up with amazing pieces that speak to the buyer,” says Ashley. “You can have all the sales you want, but it really comes down to the work in the end that gets the sale.”
Some artists might be a bit worried about the repercussions of lowering their prices. Will prospective buyers have less money, or spend more conservatively, in the wake of an economic crisis? As the economy rebounds, will buyers continue to assume that the prices artists set on their works are higher than what they will actually take? And then there’s the question of whether or not lowering prices (or offering larger discounts) hurts the artists more than it helps the buyers. Especially since many art collectors may have more job security and financial stability than average. Lower prices for the people who least need it can seem counter-intuitive.
However, this hasn’t been the experience of Melissa Lyons (above), a painter in Beaufort, South Carolina. She has found that buyers are responding positively towards artists that need support during the pandemic crisis. “My business is doing better than ever,” says Lyons, noting that she let buyers know through social media that her paintings were discounted 20 percent. “One return client bought five of my paintings, just because she wanted me to feel supported.”
Lyons admits that selling her artwork directly, rather than through a gallery, affords her more flexibility in pricing. Furthermore, offering special sales is not a new activity for her. “I have birthday sales, anniversary sales and holiday sales,” she says. And they all have resulted in more purchases and interest from regular and new buyers.
Perhaps, it takes a crisis to get artists thinking about new ways of finding a home for their art. Most artists, especially those who have had long careers or are just prolific, have a lot of artwork inventory. From works stored in cabinets or storage buildings, to ones filling closets, leaning against walls, or underfoot and in the way.
The solutions to this are not limitless. You can sell art, lend it, throw it away, give it away or put it in storage. And while artists would love to sell all the works they exhibit, most pieces on exhibition eventually come back. And few artists can boast of selling everything they create. The reality is that artists will end up with more art every year, creating a what-to-do-with-it problem of varying magnitude.
Storage, at least initially, is every artist’s first recourse. The studio is an obvious place to keep art. But over time it can fill up, reducing the amount of available space for creating new art. Barbara Nechis, a painter in Calistoga, California, stores framed paintings under the beds of her home. But she distributes others to family and friends as gifts and loans. Plus donating work is also an option. “I have also given work to hospitals, schools and libraries,” says Nechis.
When evaluating the volume of work on hand, some artists opt for a more final solution–destroying paintings they consider poor. “There’s enough bad art in the world,” says Indiana painter Charles Mundy. “I want to spare the public bad art, especially if it’s mine.” Mundy has knifed unwanted paintings, cutting them up and putting them in the trash. In 2001, he destroyed 180 paintings at one time. Still, the production continues. Another prolific artist, Frank Webb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has taken a similarly ruthless approach to work that doesn’t measure up. “I store surviving paintings in boxes labeled A, B, C and D,” says Webb. “If inventory becomes unmanageable, I destroy the paintings in the D box, then some of the grade C are downgraded to the D box.”
Discarding art can be quite freeing. It can unburden an artist of the weight of every piece of paper or canvas he or she has touched over time. But it is not something to be done lightly. One might think that an artist is the best judge of what is good and bad of his or her work. But the heady art market often rates demand for product and name recognition equal to quality. And perhaps, in some instances, the artist is not the best judge.
Visiting Sol Lewitt’s studio in 1970, artist Dorothea Rockburne spotted a piece of paper that Lewitt had used to test a new pen in the waste basket. “Oh, that’s lovely,” she said, retrieving the crumpled paper. It’s now titled, “Scribble Drawing”, and has been included in every retrospective of the artist’s work since.
When the second life of thrown-away artwork is the art market, pieces that an artist discarded and presumably disavowed may still generate high prices. But also (possibly) damage his or her artistic reputation. At least once, the matter has found its way into a court of law. Frank Stella once placed some damaged artwork outside for trash pick-up only to find the work placed on exhibition at a Manhattan art gallery months later. He sued for the return of his work. He won but had to purchase the work back. Stella’s second try at getting rid of the piece was more successful.
Maybe the most inspired way artists find a home for art that hasn’t sold is to swap work with another artist they admire. Because ultimately the destiny of art is to find someone that appreciates it most.
The Filarts Artists Tour at Malapascua sland in Cebu City, Philippines was a truly remarkable experience. The tour included a group of talented artists, namely Roy Espinosa, Celso Pepito, Fe Madrid, Julius Clar, Frank Caña, Roy Ama, and Ingrid Aimee Peñaflor, who came together to explore the natural beauty of the island, share their art and create new works inspired by the surroundings.

unforgettable one. The group of artists were able to come together to create new works inspired by the beauty of the island, while also enjoying each other's company and the hospitality of the people of Malapascua Island. It is a trip that will be cherished forever by the group and a place that they will always remember as a source of creativity and inspiration.
When it comes to starting out with anything, practice makes perfect. And with practice comes trial and error. A wise person once said, “You must learn from your mistakes.” But, lucky for you, we have put together a list of eight common beginner painting mishaps — so you can learn what not to do, without actually having to find out the hard way.
Also known as not setting up your palette the same way every time. This can lead you down a path of color chaos. Constantly looking at your palette for a specific color, or accidentally dipping your brush in the wrong color can put a damper on your painting progress. Laying out your palette consistently allows you to work faster and focus on your painting, not the paint.
Also known as mixing too many colors in one. To avoid muddy hues, try sticking to only two or three colors. And, don’t over mix your pigments. As soon as you see the color you want, stop mixing.
Also known as painting too far away from the subject of a still life. Make sure you are no more than two or three yards away from your subject when painting a still life. Likewise, if you’re right-handed, place your still life on your left, so your arm doesn’t block your view (and vice versa for left-handers).
Also known as storing art materials in a warm area. When it comes to storage, keep completed work, works in progress and your materials in a cool, dry area away from light. It is also advisable to store your work in a relatively dust-free space. Particles can stick to wet paint and ruin the texture of your surface.
Also known as neglecting to add a focal point. Many beginning painters tend to think too much about accuracy and not enough about the alluring, more dynamic qualities of their art. Use a viewfinder, if you are overwhelmed by the scene in front of you. And, make sure to determine what your focal point is before starting your next art piece.
Also known as wasting paint. You can find ways to save your materials for practically any medium. Oil painting palettes, for example, can be stored in the freezer, which extends their longevity. For watercolors, try a palette with a lid. When the unused paint on the palette dries, it can be packed away easily and safely. When you’re ready to paint again, just add water.
Also known as not priming a canvas. Working on an unprimed canvas is certainly doable, but nothing prevents the paint from soaking through the surface and deteriorating the canvas. Primed canvas allows artists to skip the process of mixing and applying the sizing and ground, which many beginning artists prefer. However, unprimed canvas is less expensive. And, frequent painters find it beneficial to learn how to apply their own priming, because it cuts costs and enables them to create a texture specific to their painting needs.
Also known as forgetting about freebies and reaching out. Art supply manufacturers want your business. And, as a result, tons of manufacturers will offer free test sizes of materials online and even at some stores. Don’t be afraid to reach out to art companies directly for additional information. They love hearing from artists.

Alyssa Marie Kristel Yang is a talented artist who has been passionate about art from a very young age. Growing up in Maysan Valenzuela, she discovered her love for painting and drawing by using her mother's collection of nail polish to create intricate figures on simple pad paper. Despite her humble beginnings, Alyssa's artistic abilities were evident even with limited art materials such as pencils, crayons, and pens, and her parents recognized her artistic potential.
One of Alyssa's artistic specialties is Acrylic Pour Painting, a technique she has mastered over the years. Her art is characterized by the merging of vibrant hues, a wide range of colors, and captivating textures, resulting in extraordinary compositions. Through her work, Alyssa creates mesmerizing patterns, pools of colors, and intricate details reminiscent of marbled effects. Her acrylic pours go beyond the simple act of pouring mixed colors; they are inspired by the
"Unleashing the Cosmos: The Captivating Artistry of Alyssa Yang"

ne of the world’s busiest business and tourist capitals, Singapore, has long been the art aficionado’s paradise. With such vast wealth of public galleries, creative events, and white spaces, no selection of the top contemporary art galleries can be comprehensive. Aside from better-known exhibition spaces such as Gillman Barracks, ION and Ode to Art, some strategically located art space such as NUVE Heritage Café Art Gallery are well worth a visit.
This humble art space is one to watch. It places you within a 10-minute stroll of popular attractions such as Bugis Street Shopping District and Raffles City. This 19-room, 4-star hotel has conveniences like a restaurant, a bar/ lounge, free in-room WiFi and a wall space dedicated for visual art.
NUVE Heritage art space has become the hub of burgeoning artistic life for established and promising young artists. With only 2 set of spacious walls with high ceiling, the exhibition space is undeniably compact – but each show is allowed to breathe, with a surprising fluidity between the rooms and space to wander with the knowledge to communicate with the nature of the displayed artworks. Although the gallery platform is dominated by twodimensional art forms, it champions contemporary artists with wide-reaching horizons, including sculptures. For those who enjoy art that tells a story, while staying at a cosy room, enjoying pastry and black coffee, this space exhibitions are unlikely to disappoint.

Is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting developments in the late 19th century to post-World War II art through 1970’s (Modern Art) and 1970’s to the present (Contemporary Art) in all media and creating a welcoming environment for its public appreciation. The Museum promote understanding and interest in art and artists through art shows and exhibitions, curatorial research and publications, and a variety of educational programs, including lectures, guided tours, and workshops.
The Museum is an organic, changing place. Although all the works seen are part of our permanent collection, in order to show the full range of our holdings - over 2,000 objets d’art - and to accommodate important temporary exhibitions, certain works must occasionally be taken off view.
Modern Art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the styles and philosophy of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. More recent artistic production is often called contemporary art or postmodern art.
Contemporary Art is the art of today, produced in the second half of the 20th century or in the 21st century. Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world. Some define contemporary art as art produced within “our lifetime”.
