Through lines, curves and strokes
Banhay Kulay artists revealed their souls
Life lessons carved on wood
Oil on canvas as soul food

Eleven members from the Paete Artist Guild
Showcased their works-of-heart to build
A lasting legacy at Galeria SinAg
"SINing at AGham na nagbibigay liwanag"

Graced by UPOU Chancellor Bandalaria
Supported by the UPOU Foundation and administrators in full regalia
Sponsored by the UPOU Cultural Committee
February 24-25, 2017 twin launch was held successfully

It was an honor to interview the Maestros
Trace how their ideas fueled their gustos
Made one proud to be a Filipino citizen
Like them think and dream at a higher realm

"Luzviminda" by Kid Baldemor
Forges into the future with one's family to explore
"The Joy of Living" by Bayani Ray Acala
Makes one skip a beat: fa-sol-la

"Blossom 1,2,3" of Lito Baldemor
Realistic sweet-smelling flora de amor
"Angelica" of Joseph Bañez
Irresistibly imaginative tree with houses

"Huli Ka" of Phaern Afurong
Fun moments of childhood fish-along
Odette Cagandahan's glow-in-the-dark
Made "Marilyn Monroe" and "Steve Jobs" spark

"Best Teacher" of Danilo Cads
Salutes moms, like Jayson Bañez' "Pure Love"

Edward Dave's "Ark of the Covenant"
Testifies to Christ's commitment which is constant

Nestor Cagayat's "Panalangin"
Encourages one to have faith in Him
Glenn Cagandahan's "Transcrucifix"
Transcends death in a matrix

So what are you waiting for?
Visit the exhibit now!
It runs until March 24, sundown
