Art in the Park 2012

By | Arts and Culture | One Comment

This year, we attended Art in the Park in a different way.  There was an auction that afternoon and James told me about it so we went.  It was at Salcedo Auctions which is in the vicinity of the park

We stayed all throughout from 4pm to around 6 pm

James insisted on bidding for this Lot 8 Baccarat paperweight for me, but it didn’t reach the reserve price

 We listened to Missy Sanares-Reyes talk about Painting Conservation

And though she lectured about restoring paintings, I would not dare touch my painting and would just put it in her expert care!  Do call Missy if you need to restore your paintings through Salcedo Auctions

There will be an upcoming auction for Philippine Art, we are looking forward to this!

Art by Kim Oliveros

Visited Tita Bettina in her house a few months ago and saw these beautiful paintings of Japanese girls!  I love it how she so randomly saw them at a show, loved them and bought 4 paintings all in one go!  That’s how it should really be!  Acquire the art pieces that you are attracted to

Pinto Art Museum

By | Arts and Culture, Proud to be Pinoy!, Travel | One Comment

Here is a portrait of the famous Dr. Cuanang ( by Winner Jumalon 2006)  found at the Pinto Museum.  Thank you Dr. Cuanang for your amazing contribution to Philippine art!

We were toured by one of the Saling Pusa artists, Jim Orencio

The Museum had just opened last December 2010 and I heard it took around 2 years to build with the help of artist Tony Leaño

Love the display of the Philippine flag!

saling-pusa-03.jpgsaling-pusa-04.jpgsaling-pusa-05.jpg

It’s Plet’s sculpture by the garden!!

saling-pusa-06.jpgsaling-pusa-07.jpg

I was just so awed and dumbfounded so to see so many beautiful antiques and art works around the place!   

saling-pusa-08.jpg

Wow!  This was the first artwork you see as you enter the gallery!  What a treasure!!!!!! A 1992 painting made by the Saling Pusa group! PRICELESS!

saling-pusa-016.jpgsaling-pusa-010.jpg

Dr. Cuanang has a beautiful collection! He knew these artists had talent and he supported them.  How can you put a value to even just that alone?  And now it is even so difficult to acquire such works from these artists – Elmer Borlongan, Tony Leaño, Mark Justinani, John Santos, Joy Mallari, Emmanuel Garibay, Geronimo Tapales and the rest of the group!

The Fifth Season by Roberto Coin

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

The Fifth Season by Roberto Coin is a line expressing the elegance which is typically represented by the tradition and philosophy of Roberto Coin, perfectly suited for today’s metropolitan dynamism.

It is the most informal expression of the world of Roberto Coin, with a charming casual-chic touch added to the Italian jewels made at The Fifth Season factory in Vicenza.

Style and manufacturing techniques remain the same to create a new, fresh and modern variety of jewellery creations, whilst some renown designs are reproduced in the preciousness of multi coloured silver.

This is the perfect collection for women who are looking for quality jewellery for the different seasons of their life – when the idea of a piece of jewellery is connected to an attitude more than to an ideal concept.

As usual, much attention is paid to the choice of precious and natural elements, thus guaranteeing the respect of Roberto Coin’s ethical principles.

Since 1996, a small ruby is hidden inside each piece of jewellery created by Roberto Coin. Legend has it that this marvelous gem, which is considered eternal, has the power to promote a long, healthy and happy life. This very same wish has now been passed on to The Fifth Season by Roberto Coin.

The Fifth Season by Roberto Coin is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-la Plaza, Gateway, and Cebu Department Stores, and also available at the Newport Mall, Resorts World.
