SALO SALO 2019


I am happy to be invited again to participate to this yearly event. It was on the first Salo Salo, back in 2012, that my art is appreciated by many for the first time (because, usually, it's just my family 😁). And also, nobody notices my works or entries in group exhibits that I had joined before that. So it was really a nice experience for me back then.

Here's my entry this year...


"Uy! Wish!"
Acrylic on canvas
36x24inches
2019

"Uy! Wish!" means "Hey! It's a wish!" or "Hey! Let's make a wish!" in Tagalog (uh...I know it's an English word. I mean how it should be understood here). It's from a childhood memory where we, as kids back then, had this silly belief that you can make a wish from a feathery pappus of the Dandelion floating in the air if you're able to catch it. I thought it's just in my hometown but my husband said it's the same here in the city (Manila). So I guess most of Filipino kids in my time believed the same thing. I'm not sure with the kids today ^_^'

If you're in the Philippines and near Makati City, I hope you can drop by and appreciate our pieces.
