Life
is indeed beautiful by just appreciating arts and pieces an artists’ carefully
and wholeheartedly made. Lines, colors, curves, and anything that would make
one’s work into something and something that would make one into being a great artist.
Good thing, there’s a venue now for them to showcase their beautiful creations
thru Caballete Artist’s Gallery which is located at Kamias, Quezon City.
“Caballete” is a Spanish word that means “easel”, an easel is the one that
carries the artist’s canvas. While the owner of Caballete Artist’s Gallery named
Mr. Ramon Araullo is a stockbroker and branch network head. He collected artworks
and paintings from national artists, known artist and even give a chance to
those newbie artist. One good investment though aside from stocks is to buy
artworks and paintings. Why? Aside from you’re able to see physically what you’ve
invested, the value also multiplies as time goes by. As per Mr. Ramon, he has
paintings that he bought for only P30,000 and now, after 10 years, the value is
already more than P300,000. See? How its
value multiplies? Artworks also increased its value when the artist is
already dead and when it becomes a national artist, too. Thus, having an eye keen for
details when it comes to paintings is a talent. Hmmm… I aleady have my favorite paintings displayed in gallery and
looking forward to buy even one of those the soonest possible.
With that, Caballete
Artist’s Gallery was born out of a passion, a passion of one
man to start a collection in the late 1980’s and collect the best of Philippine
visual art, to showcase this collection and show the best of what the Filipino
artist past and present have to offer. Caballete aims to cradle Filipino art
pieces and place them in a pedestal where they belong, to emphasize talent rather
than the dictates of commercialism. In the age online and mall shopping of art pieces
where prices are driven by the extra cost of profit the middleman has to earn
to cover his overhead.
Caballete
Artist Gallery aims to be the, as I metioned earlier, a venue where would be
aspiring artist and just plain art lovers
can be hands on, through weekly
activity tagged as an Art Lab, where a lead artist or an art master can
share and guide a group the
rudiments of creating
masterpieces using various art medium. Various forms of artistic talent will also be
featured and encouraged in our venue, talents in music and the literary world would
also be a weekly staple.
The Art gallery aims to encourage groups of friends from all ages to just hang out and witness the visuals and at the same time learn the roots of Filipino art heritage through the sharing of information from art practitioners, a place where creative minds meet.
