LOVED RELIGIOUS THEMES IN ART!!!!!


Hi!!!! its been a long time that I have not posted a blog. Now I will showcase to you my hidden talents.... Brimming creativeness.... religious? yes. First, my Madonna and Child inspired painting on traditional Filipino setting.

It is made of watercolor and paper. It is one of my finest master pieces.I hope you appreciate it.










Another of my finest, well I don't usually give titles of my art works. It is because I believe that by just looking and internalize the message of the art work the title is conceived. But to further understand the message of the art work I'll give some cues to relief the curious minds. The message can be conceived by the symbols illustrated.








Illustrated one of the Arch Angels of God, though it has no symbols which could identify the Arch Angel. But I dearly know what inspiration has made me to come up with this beautiful image. I hope you liked it.









You can tell it by her emotions, and symbols. Who is this Saint? Leave a comment. I would likely accept and love it.

The fact that architecture course is one of the hardest courses you can get through. But a relieving thing about this is you can be self employed and you can earn your own and most especially you can earn more through architecture. But lets read between the lines, lines for in fact can be frustrating if you're somewhat a man of visual arts. Struggling for freedom of expression and a life long dream of to become a painter some day. Question.... how can you incorporate your arts to architecture? simple answer for a simple question. liberate your self from the norms of architecture.

For example: Antonio Gaudi




I am a big fan of Antonio Gaudi but following his steps could be the hardest thing in mind. Antonio Gaudi pioneered the use of organic architecture and incorporated with the liberal arts of the art Nouveau. Moreover, his works lack of straight lines and bazaar nature inspired motifs indicates his intelligence in visual arts and expressiveness.
He did liberated himself from the norms of architecture but is he free from from his time? Antonio Gaudi's works are not that famous on the industrial period of Spain actually his only famous patron is Guell, Eusebi. Though he has few patrons he made a considerable number projects in his time.

The famous La Sagrada de Familia





Believe it or not this smallish model, reduced from its actual scale has a long story to tell.
The Sagrada de familia is planned to have 18 towers. These towers has significant symbolisms on Catholic faith. The towers represents the 12 apostles, the 4 evangelists, the Virgin
Mary, and our Lord Jesus Christ. There are still symbols yet to tell but it can be wearying.
It towers a total height of 170m! Thats amazing, isn't it?
Though it is traditionally planned but the facade can be a mouth opener, a jaw dropper. hehehe!!!
Bazaar as it is the front facade post the apostles creed with delicate designs of leaf orrrr... i really don't know, its really liberating. I wish i could be like him.



Sad thing is until now the la sagrada de familia is still on construction. The diversion of the present time from religious to secular did affected its making. As you see only a portion of it is standing.
