Amorsolo Paintings in The Vargas Museum

First time I went into Vargas Museum was when I was a freshman back in UP Diliman. Since I was a student, admission was free, and every now and then, I found myself going to the museum in case I had a free period, I was lucky because it was just two blocks away from CSSP. 

The museum has quite a collection of Amorsolo paintings. Yesterday, after going to Mark Justiniani's Reverb exhibit, Kim and I went up to the 2nd floor, I wanted to look at the Amorsolos. 

I confess, I also went up to look at the collection of paintings because I wanted to get inspiration for the frame that I wanted to have made for the painting I had commissioned. 

Here are some of the paintings by Fernando Amorsolo, all part of the collection of the Vargas Museum:

How I wish I get to afford an Amorsolo in the future!

Mark Justiniani's Reverb

Yesterday, Kim and I found ourselves gravitating towards Vargas Museum in UP Diliman. Mark Justiniani had an exhibit at the ground floor called Reverb. 

I was introduced to Mark Justiniani's works from Pinto Art Museum, so I was expecting paintings to dot along the ground floor gallery of the Vargas Museum. What greeted was just beyond description. They were like giant light-boxes, which had amazing dioramas. But the dioramas had so much depth, it seemed as if I was looking at a tunnel, due to his play on lights, and mirrors. It was simply amazing, you have to go and visit the exhibit to experience it for yourself. 

The exhibit is only until May 6, 2016. Best to catch it.
