Maria Pureza 'Puchette' Escano at LRI Design Plaza

-

MANILA, Philippines - Maria Pureza “Puchette” Escano presents her masterpieces in a traveling exposition billed “Ode to the Father — An art exhibit of Praise and Thanksgiving.” It will open on March 6 at 6 p.m. at the LRI Pavilion, LRI Design Plaza, along Nicanor Garcia St. in Makati with a celebration of the Holy Mass to be officiated by His Excellency Archbishop Angel Lagdameo.

All the paintings in the “Ode to the Father” collection will be donated to the Bukas-Loob sa Diyos Foundations’ Scholarship of Hope as the artist’s response to the call of BLD’s spiritual director Archbishop Lagdameo to assist its beneficiaries.

The traveling exposition started at Bliss Café & Art Space, Hotel Elizabeth in Baguio City last Feb. 14. The collection reflects the artist’s search, discovery and affirmation of the inspiration behind her masterpieces — as depicted in all 18 artworks (retrospective of her paintings from 2002-2010) which are experimentations of her varying styles in realism, impressionism and surrealism, executed in either oil, acrylic and her forte, watercolor. The paintings embody each verse of her poem of prayer to God.

Jason Asistores, and Nika Espinosa of the Makopa band will perform on opening night. The event will also feature photographs by Mian Sta.Cruz. This event is sponsored by Smart Communications Inc.

Maria Pureza “Puchette” Escano is represented by Ico Gallery Chelsea, New York; Sining Kamalig Gallery, Gateway Mall; and ArtAsia, SM Megamall. For information, visit http://puchettescano.weebly.com.
