I’m a left-brained person. I’m not an art student. I just learned to appreciate art – LATELY. Impulsively, I went to the Art Fair hours after my nose-bleeding agenda in Makati. Imagine the transition from a left-brained session to a right-brained activity within the day. It felt unusual.
Upon reaching the venue, I started capturing photos of portraits that amazed me. Two hours are not enough for me to document the artworks that stimulated my curiosity.
During the last minutes of my stay at the gallery, I went inside a room which had a “writing on the wall”. It says there, Jaime, then below it, the complete name, Jaime de Guzman. I wonder who Jaime de Guzman is. The room has paintings and crafts all created by the same artist. Then I saw an old man sitting on a wooden sofa in front of me. He was busy talking to a lady who looked like she belongs to an upper-class society.
I couldn’t leave the area yet, even if the venue is about to close. The paintings struck me. I didn’t know why.
After so much hesitation to leave the area, I asked a lady exhibitor who the old man is. She confirmed that the old man is the renowned Filipino artist, Jaime de Guzman. She introduced me to him and I had a chance to talk to him. He asked me if I was an art student. I told him that I wasn’t. But I could appreciate artworks.
We couldn’t talk much; the venue’s closing. All artworks I’ve seen were awesome. But the last room I visited was remarkable.
