Our school's fine art association planned to have another art exhibit here in La Herencia for UM fine arts students and alumni. I was invited since I'm a graduate but I had to think if I should join or not because my artworks are in Bukidnon and not here in Davao. I tried making a painting but it wasn't done on time, because the exhibit is starting a week before I decided to join in. 😆 I know, such a late decision hahaha!

I lost hope of finishing the artwork I was working on due to the short time, so I informed my friend who was in charge of the exhibit, 2 days later I received a message from a colleague saying I have a painting in stock at school and he hopes I will join again with that painting which I agreed.

KITA2KITA is the title of the art exhibit, it's actually a second series, I didn't enter the first KITAKITA exhibit 2 years ago because I was so far away to join. Why is it titled like that? Kita means to see, other than seeing artworks in the exhibit it can also be a way of seeing each other in person, like a gathering of all artists and art appreciators.

When I came inside the exhibit area which haven't started yet, my friends whom I haven't seen in a long time were around which made me so happy to see them. they were surprised that I was around since I usually come and go to the city, I told them I'll be staying for a month then go back to my hometown and then come back again. 😆

We had a little program before opening the exhibit like a thank you message from the art association president and some of the guests and sponsors for the success of the event.

_{We have delicious cocktails too, so guests can eat while looking around}

merch made by the artists got displayed too, while I was looking I can't help but think of Hive account@jijisaurart because I see kikis delivery service since Jiji like studio ghibli at the same time digital artworks of the last of Us series, another favorite movie of Her.

One of our bloggers in the blockchain Hive account@jacinta.sevilla displayed her beautiful pearls as well. Jacinta was a former classmate in my first year in fine arts, she was the person who told us about steemit blockchain, now Hive.

I recently join the community ART PARK on Discord invited by Hive account@jijisaurart which was the first time I met Hive account@crimsonowl-art who, I later found out is a very close friend of Jacinta. What a small world because I have been acquainted with crimson-owl for buying her drawing tablet in person and didn't know she's also a blogger and anon in the blockchain ~ jiji even jokes I've seen 99% of the anon she knows in Discord and she's the 1% that I haven't seen yet. HAHAHAH so true!

you are always my number one ~ madam ji 😌 charot! 😆

ARTWORKS

I moved upstairs to see the painting displayed, I wasn't around in the ingress because I live far away and had to ask a favor to my friend to attend for me, so these paintings are new to see.

my painting is in the second picture above the work where it has a carabao, a woman with doodle clouds and rain.

To be honest, I'm not too proud of that painting, guess why (if you guess the reason, I'll give you 2 hive) well I have tons of paintings that I'm not proud of producing, and this is one of them, I later found out from the person in charge of the exhibit that there was a person who inquired in buying it, a boost of confidence in my part because someone would still appreciate something I hate.

I also wonder, if saying this would lower the value of that painting. I just realized writing this now 😅 even so, I'm just being honest with what I feel about it.

more paintings from my classmates, I'm very happy to join an exhibit together with them.

this animated painting of mebuyan caught my attention, the goddess of the underworld is in the bagobo tribe's beliefs.

Mebuyan has so many breasts, so she can breastfeed all the unborn children coming into the underworld, You can search for it more if you are interested in her story.

took a picture of my close artist friend Hive account@nagaer together with his painting, this friend of mine is a very hardworking person and is very good at everything about art. I have always admired his skills since we were in college, and I'm happy to have a friend like him! he'll be a famous artist someday, so watch out y'all.

_{Play Merry-go-round of Life by Joe Hisaishi as background music for this sculpture!}

kudos to the artist who made this sculpture of howls moving castle, I know how it takes so much time and patience in creating such detailed work.

Happy to be able to join an exhibit alongside my co-fine artists again and to meet friends who I haven't seen in a long time.

THANK YOU FOR READING!
