Go Deeper into a Higher vibration

I have been drawn into paintings since when I was in elementary and high school. I paint just to have fan, to release my feelings or emotions or sometimes providentially to join a contest. At that very young age of mine, I can proudly say that I know how to appreciate classic arts like paintings. Seeing art like this, just merely makes me feel happy and relax and it encourages me to coin a new one. It sounds good and enthuse me that this essay tasked me to go to museums or any art gallery, but at the moment I got into National Museum I was astonished by the tragic fact that it was only me and some friends who visited there. I was anticipating that there will be some students or probably someone who is there seeing or appreciating scenic paintings. This only makes me realized that despondently, not all of us used to care about paintings, whether it is done by a prominent artist or unpopular one.

                But it will not be a hindrance for me instead I can't help but already appreciate the richness of Philippine art when different marvellous paintings greeted me as soon as I stood in the first room of art gallery, the grand Hall of Masters which is dedicated to 19th century Filipino painters. As I continue to roam around the museum I saw this one painting that really captured my attention the Planting of the First Cross that was done by Vicente Manansala on 1965. Obviously, according to its title it portrays on how Spaniards conquer the Philippines and the invasion of Catholic Religion. There is so much drama and history behind that painting, and also from the fact that it is Vicente Manansala who painted it, that was said to be the Philippine cubist painter and illustrator. Manansala's canvases were described as masterpieces that brought the cultures of the barrio and the city together.

Appreciating paintings art and design is an innate desire for the object. While historical, critical and even social context may enrich the story behind an object and explain its conceptual or physical production, it is the initial connection between viewer and the painting that sets tone and dialogue. The emotional connection a viewer feels towards a work of art or an entire collection creates personal value. Seeing great work is always mean seeing a painter’s self-reflection. If they are not happy, or are bored, this is what the painting will reveal, no matter what subject matter they paint, what materials they use, and how technically proficient they are. Painting is a mirror of painter’s soul. And good painting allows the viewer to go deeper into a higher vibration. Loving life, as you put it, is the priority for everything, especially great art.
