Art Fair 2014

By | Arts and Culture, Proud to be Pinoy! | No Comments

Because of the success of last year’s Art Fair,  I heard that the first day was so full of people snapping up all the art works on display!  Many were already sold out!!!  Heart2Heart is so happy that Philippine Art is gaining much attention among many collectors in the Philippines and now being recognized in auctions in Asia  

Previous entry: Visiting the Art Fair 2013 March 4, 2013



 We were happy to bump into Sophia Zobel Elizalde.  Thank you to the Zobel family for patronizing the arts 

And to Trickie Colayco Lopa for bringing art in the country to where it is now!  

We went straight up to the second floor and the first art work we saw was the installation of Ronald Ventura.  Some artworks remind me of the very popular Jeff Koons

Kenneth Cobonpue

Geraldine Javier

Sold out scarves by Pio Abad

Chair by Jia Santos Estrella





I wish I owned this 🙂  Pink Mother and Child by Orlina!


My cousin Tara Soriano with an interested buyer 🙂

So happy to bump into our friend Randy Go at Joy Mallari’s booth with Marya Salang 










I heard there were live butterflies in the booth of Secret Fresh!  And it smelled like chocolate!!  I missed you Bigboy but I came and passed by.  I can’t wait to have my  Gene Paul Martin Toy.  I wish I got the pink one! 🙂
