Angelo Antonio Maristela is a multidimensional international Filipino artist who has secured himself a spot in the highly competitive world of arts. His works are recognised for excellence and he has won awards on several painting competitions which includes being one of the finalists in the Philip Morris Art Awards.

Angelo can bring a lifeless object to life. He is a gifted natural hyper-realist painter and has gainedmastery in the art of portrait making. Angelo’s style can accommodate different requirements—from abstracts, impressionism to realism; marrying a vast range of hues and figures on his canvas for his corporate and commercial projects in the Philippines, USA and Qatar.

Based in Doha Qatar since 2009, his wonderful art works now hang in some of the most exclusive residential and commercial villas across the city and the Pearl, Qatar. His latest abstract series iscurrently being showcased at Bilal Pearl Suites, a 7-star residential haven at Pearl Qatar. While some of his hyper-realism artworks are gracing the interiors of Sizzling Hotpot, a newly-opened Asian restaurant in the Holiday Villa Hotel.

His artworks have been gaining popularity in the country and overseas and have been featured for a number of times in popular Qatari magazines and Angelo has been interviewed on Qatar TV. He has showcased his works in international exhibitions including the Art Encounter in Las Vegas, Nevada, the largest gallery in the state to join their dynamic roster of artists. He has also been invited to an exhibit in the Philippine Center, New York back in 2006. In September, he has two exhibitions that will be happening simultaneously—one in Biennale 2015, Italy and in Katara– at the exclusive and only Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar.

This artist’s ultimate vision is to leave a lifetime legacy to preserve the culture and events through his timeless paintings for the next generations to appreciate and enjoy.

Due to his fondness in doodling, he has been featured on Artfido.com which gave him a huge break to pursue the arts further. He is also into murals, collaboration works, water colour painting, portraiture and editorial cartooning. Moreover, his interest in digital arts has become a way for him to enhance his ability and furtherly challenge himself to make complex animation designs.

Fortunately, he has been chosen as a contributing artist for Paradox: The Art of Editorial Cartooning, Doodle Arts Magazine and as a cartoonist for several Campus Newspapers in his hometown. Kenjay was a remarkable achiever in high school and he was appointed the Salutatorian of his batch who received hundreds of art-related and academic awards. At this young age, Kenjay wishes to inspire everyone around the world and at this point in his life he is still curious about how he can reach the world with a blot of ink on a blank paper.

FEATURED FILIPINA ARTIST: Princess Margaret Fuentes

(You can find her at page 51)

Please click on the image, it will lead you to the online version of Aura’s Issue #2 with Manny Pacquiao

Princess Margaret is a self-taught artist, business owner, art teacher, and an active member of Art Association of the Philippines and Pinoy na Pinoy Visual Artists Association, Inc. since 2014.

She may be new in the art world, but art is a great part of her life.

She sees her talent as a blessing than a skill as she is a co-owner with her best friend (Janis Khiong) of a small art-school—Artventure Art Center for children and those with special needs.

“Artventure believes that art has the capacity to engaging the youth regardless of physical, emotional or developmental abilities one step at a time. It has power and wisdom beyond words.”

Art education is essential to the development of the whole child. Artventure provides art with so much heart.

****

ART JOURNEY

She sees this creative journey as a spiritual one to commune with God, express, inspire, and be enlightened to deeper self-discovery and continuous transformation.

As she listens to the creator within, her faith gives sight as she is her own muse and therefore, is allowed to nurture her artistic creativity.

And the longer she spends time on making art, the more she realizes that mood has nothing to do with creating beautiful works of art.

“It really comes and flows freely deep from the heart and soul, and the spirit playing the most part. This creative gift leads me to truth and love. And I am always willing to learn, grow and let the spirit create through me as I do all things with so much love and peace,” she quotes.

Thank you Princess Margaret!!

I will never forget what you said, “If it is meant for me, it will never miss me.”

Continue your artistic prowess. You are extremely talented and a rising sunshine to many!!!
