His winning the silver medal in the 1884 Madrid Exposition of Fine Arts, along with the gold win of fellow Filipino painter Juan Luna, prompted a celebration which was a major highlight in the memoirs of members of the Philippine reform movement,
Las Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho or The Christian Virgins Exposed to the Populace is a famous 1884 history painting by Filipino painter, reformist, and propagandist Félix Resurrección Hidalgo.

Fernando Zóbel y Montojo (August 27, 1924 – June 2, 1984), also known as Fernando M. Zóbel, was a Spanish Filipino painter, businessman, art collector, and museum founder.

His father was a patron of Fernando Amorsolo. In gratitude, Amorsolo would teach the young Fernando on the rudiments of art.

Zóbel started painting without formal training while at Harvard. In the fall of 1946 Zóbel's paintings from this era were representational, and often had an aspect of caricature.
His first one-man exhibition was held at the Philippine Art Gallery in 1953. In 1954, he left Manila for six months, had a show at the Swetzoff Gallery in Boston, and enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design where he saw an exhibition by Mark Rothko. Rothko's paintings made an impression on Zobel that increased his interest in painting abstractly.

FERNANDO CUETO AMORSOLO (Philippine, b. May 30, 1892 – d. February 26, 1972)

Styles: Impressionism, Luminism, Realism

Subjects: Philippine genre and historical, nudes, society portraits

The paintings of Fernando C. Amorsolo “…overflow with sweetness and optimism,” says art historian Eric Torres. Amorsolo, Torres asserts, managed to “capture on canvas the vibrant tropical Philippine sunlight.” A shy man, whose only real genius was in painting, Fernando Amorsolo also helped shape and stylize the image of the ideal Filipina.

Fernando Amorsolo’s enormous popularity, both during his lifetime and after, resulted from his luminous and idealized treatment of Philippine genre and landscape subjects. His best-known paintings feature peasants in colorful costumes, scenes of rice planting and harvesting, genre and society portraits, and sensual female bathers. Amorsolo’s painterly technique, and his skill in rendering the figure, is said to have peaked during the era known as his “Golden Period” between 1915 and 1940.

Martino Abellana, The Dean of Cebuano Painters

Martino Abellana (1914-1986) is a central figure in the development of most Cebuano artists. A patient, understanding teacher famed for his savage wit and impatience with mediocrity, the ideal maestro artist. Called by his admirers as “the Amorsolo of the South,” was born to an artistic family, he was exposed to art early. His father, Teofilo, a school principal and assiduous reader, was the sculptor of Carcar Even his grandfather, Saloy Abellana, was an apprentice to Isabelo Tampingco in Manila.

Abstract paintings can also be appreciated in terms of the individual elements of art: color, shape, line, texture, space, value, etc. An abstract artist's skills lie in his or her ability to use colors and textures to their best visual strength and to create a sound composition from these elements.
You should have a solid foundation in technical skills as the foundation of your art before you can intentionally abstract it. If you know how to follow the rules, you will be able to break them when they make sense. When you try to do so without any insights you won't know what is good and what is not!

Monet's philosophy for painting has been to "forget what objects you have before you--a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape..."

He continues and said, "I wished I had been born blind and then had suddenly gained my sight so that I could have begun to paint in this way without first knowing what the objects were that I saw before me...."

Pacita Abad (Filipino, 1946–2004) was a Modern painter born in Basco, Batanes,

she traveled the world painting, visiting more than 80 countries. Abad’s travels had a significant impact on her life and art. She was very inventive and experimental with her painting, and her style changed continuously throughout her career, which began in the 1970s. Her earliest paintings were mostly Figurative and social or political, covering subjects like hunger. Her work then expanded to include naturalist subject matter, inspired by the places she saw on her travels to exotic locations. This colorful work of vibrant patterns segued into her most well-known practice as an abstract painter. These mixed media works, which ranged from large-scale paintings to small collages, incorporated a variety of materials such as ceramic, glass, mylar, fabric, and circuit boards. Abad rejected the idea that painting was elitist, and she was continuously inspired by the indigenous materials and techniques she came into contact with during her travels. This philosophy permeated her work and laid the groundwork for the technique she developed called trapunto painting, which involved her stuffing and stitching her canvases to create a sculptural quality.

Sketching is perhaps when an artist is most free because you can’t make a 'mistake'. It is not about drawing an accurate likeness, but rather about capturing the essence of a person or object. To do this, you need to be loose, bold and not afraid to make mistakes. It essentially allows the inner you to come out. For this reason sketches are conceptually unique and highly individual. They portray the inner identity of the artist and are more difficult sometimes to copy as a result than a finished work. It was this realisation that prompted art historians to re-evaluate sketches and even led to the situation where sketches by the English landscape artist John Constable came to be valued as finished works alongside his paintings. The same can be said for chalk and pen sketches by High Renaissance artists Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci which are continually being exhibited in the best art museums around the world.

Everything you can imagine is real.

Good artists copy, great artists steal.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.

Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

It takes a long time to become young.

Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
