A Fine Arts student and a professor of the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu displayed their artworks at the Manila Art Caravan at The Henry Hotel in Banilad, Cebu last September 19 to 23.

Wyndelle Remonde, a graduating Fine Arts student said that his artwork, My Jesus was made using acrylic oil and textile paint. It portrayed faith no matter what a person’s god looks like.

“It is also about how Jesus saved the people from all of their sins," he added.

The exhibit was organized by Qube Gallery headed b Jon Gotiong and showcased over 49 different artworks, which incorporated the theme “Tao, Ginoo, Pagtoo.”

Fine Arts professor Jayve Villacin displayed his work entitled The Images of Angelus #1, which used mixed media, a visual art that combines various traditional distinct art media.  

“I'm very proud of myself and honored to be chosen as one of the exhibitors,” said Remonde. He was the youngest among the group.

Other works of Villacin and Remonde displayed in the exhibit were Working Student and Untitled 1-6 respectively.

 The exhibitors of the Manila Art Caravan will also join in the upcoming ManilART which  will be held at the SMX Aura Convention Center, Taguig City on October 9 to 13, 2013.

                "I'm excited for ManilArt. It's a privilege to display my artworks  in a national art exhibit," Remonde said.

                ManilART is a definitive visual art event in the country. Now on its fifth year, it envisions being the Philippines' premier international art fair showcasing the best in Philippine contemporary visual arts for the development and promotion of the Filipino national culture and arts locally and in the global art community.
