June 14, 2015June 28, 2015 / Jennifer Bichara / 2 Comments

My third contribution – Meet the Art Man – Filipino Artist Jerome Choco. (Pages 46-47) Thank you Dee Sanchez and Miguel Livelo.

Jerome “Art Man” Choco is a young and highly talented natural-born Filipino artist who hails from Angono, Rizal—“The Art Capital of the Philippines.” Jerome uses all mediums but his specialty is on realism, hyperrealism, and 3D art. With almost 95K followers on Facebook, he is someone to watch out for in the years to come.

His Discovery Series intermittently depict stories embedded from his childhood dreams. In his dreams, the Art Man aims to obtain supernatural powers. Though his clever manipulation of folk aesthetic and material. Art Man’s provides his illusory characters with emblematic significance that transcends common discernment, offering new insights about their origins and relevance. His self-discovery series in his art reveals the dream of his artistic impression on longing for his truest calling. It can be a vision that we all need to look for things that is wrong and destructive in nature but in the end one flies away from trouble and learns from the experience.

FEATURED FILIPINA ARTIST: Princess Margaret Fuentes

(You can find her at page 51)

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!!!
