Painting, the Chinese Way
ART DIALOGO Angono Rizal, Philippines 21 November 2017 Dropped by Art Dialogo last November to supposedly attend all the art workshops. Since they were all happening at the same time, I had to pick my first choice–which was Chinese Painting. I got to learn a few things from two master artists and enjoyed the process. It was a pleasant experience. Being systematic is a corporate world thing, so whenever I attend events where artists are involved, I get blown away when things end up well-organized. I know how challenging it can get to keep your mind together to make things work, and to be able to share activities with people genuinely is really great.

Nature and Art Conversations
Dong+ism
Raub, Pahang, Malaysia
20 – 22 Oct 2017
Dong+ism is a local artist community’s initiative in Hulo Dong, Raub, Pahang, Malaysia to gather students, enthusiasts and artists from Malaysia and other countries to introduce local culture and discuss current art issues.
I was formally invited by the team and we were in touch for a few weeks before the event began. Since it’s part of my goal as an artist to explore overseas art communities, I gladly accepted the invitation.
I stayed in Kuala Lumpur for a day before Zaki picked me up. We rode with two other Perupa teammates, CeYop and Irwan, to Pahang. It took us a fun 2-hour drive away from KL navigating through vast roads and greeneries. We arrived to a group of people already assembled and upon a brief meet-and-greet with the organizers/artists, we had to drive to another place for the tour — which was the first activity on the program that day. I was a bit surprised, but I then realized how prepared I was for just about anything.
Adventure is part of my game!
