Painting For Sale

Hi everyone! I’m selling my painting entitled Reflection, Perception. Last January, Clinique Philippines invited me together with other female Filipino artists Valerie Chua, Jin Joson and Kasey Albano to be part of their launch event (click here to read more about the event!). We were asked to interpret the theme “You are a work of art”. So here’s my take on it. And now I’m selling it.

If anyone of you is interested, please email me at contact@cjdesilva.com

Please share and reblog! Thank you, folks.

The Ultimate PDA

Dearest boys and girls,

I need your help.

Here's the link to the template and the font!

It should look like this:

Fantasies and Galaxies

 I took my time to figure out my color palette and lighting
before I actually started coloring.

It's been two weeks of non-stop advertising work, literally non-stop. I'm not complaining! In fact, I love the thrill of a new creative brief or a new client direction my team would have to crack. But it always feels good to take a (spiritual) break, go back to doing something I feel peaceful in - painting. 

I once dreamed of being an astronaut and I never stopped wondering about universes and alternate universes, planets and supernovas. I've always had that soft spot for science fiction, and of course, retro-futurism. Isn't it lovely how people in the 50s and 60s pictured this world's future? :)

I'm rambling. I'll just continue paint

(Taken with instagram)

After 4 hours, I'm quite happy.

This is my artwork for UP Cineastes’ Haute Auteur. They asked us to do an artwork with the theme Cinema/Philippine Cinema. I’ve been waiting for something like this because I’ve always loved film. (Indescribable passion, I guess. I may never be a film maker but I sure can appreciate good films.) And I found this as a great opportunity to share to everyone my ultimate, favorite film of all time - Mike De Leon’s Kisapmata. Para sa akin, pinanis ng Kisapmata ang film experience ko sa mga hollywood masterpieces, o miski pa ng French New Wave. ;) Personal na opinion ko lang naman. :)
