Painting as an altar
Art
Last Sunday I was invited by Cebuano visual artist Celso Duazo Pepito to visit his studio along Tandang Sora in Quezon City.
It was truly an honor for me. It was a preview to some of his works that will be on display for his upcoming one-man show at the SM Art Center in SM Megamall.
What greeted me when I entered the studio, well aside from sir Celso who opened the door, was his newest painting of St. Joseph on wood, whose feast we will be celebrating this Saturday.
I have always considered St. Joseph to be my patron saint. It was overwhelming for me.
Around 50 of his works would be on display, and I would assume that some of his best works from his most avid collectors will also be in display. This would be a rare opportunity.
One of the best things I like of sir Celso's works is that you could easily see that every piece is made so lovingly and with utmost dedication.
A devout Roman Catholic, he shared that his works are actually his apostolate, his way of revealing and witnessing to God's love through Christ Jesus.
As sir Celso would put it:
Here are some of sir Celso's new works. Some of these may just be on display in the show.
Thank you, sir Celso, for this rare opportunity.

After a decade of struggling to give meaning to my faith, I slowly discovered the relevance of being a painter, realizing that being one can be a great opportunity to advance ones personal advocacy and mission in life.His 40th one-man show, entitled Visual Advocacy will run until April 10, at the SM Art Center, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.
