The art of lounging

Kingpin’s Art of Lounge event held at Nuvo Bar, was a charity event staged specifically for the benefit of the UNICEF Foundation. Spectacular portraits by Victor Consunji and paintings by Kiko Escora, highlighted by a fashion show featuring the designs of Rhett Eala where the main event. The champagne was flowing and the partyphiles were flaunting their stuff as high art and high society mingled to the beats of Manila’s premier deep house DJ Kevin Ruiz to form a truly Nuvo-esque event.

Bubbles Paraiso


How would you like to be photographed by Victor Consunji?


As a sun goddess – all bronzed-up to highlight my golden morena complexion.

Avi Siwa


How often do you wear Rhett Eala?


Anywhere and anytime, because his clothes are fabulous.

Victor Consunji


How do you keep your creative juices flowing?


My inspiration stems from the people I shoot, whether it is their intelligence, beauty or character. I love it when someone is willing to express themselves in front of my lenses. I find that inspiring and worth the effort to create a truly original image.

Tamara de Guzman


Would rather feel or see art?


You interpret what you feel more deeply and capture what you feel so much longer – the memory courses through the body and lingers; it stays with more force and feeling than anything you simply see.

Wilma Doesnt


Which body part would you like photographed?


My eyes because they’re almond-shaped.

Nicolette Belle


What makes photography an art form you’d like to learn?


I’ve always been fascinated by how photographers see me differently behind their lenses.

Saps Uttman


Which art work makes you sit and stare for hours?


The art of a mother cradling her newborn child, because that’s when you can tell that love has no bounds.

Arrun Bhavani


Who would you share your art collection with?


Public school children so I can educate the kids to appreciate art, rather than watching rubbish noon time TV shows and soaps.

Karla Alindahao


Which art piece made you cry?


Munch’s "The Scream" because it’s just plain fabulous. Too bad it was stolen.

Great Ancheta


Which art form would like to learn with your lover?


Though I am single at the moment, I’d go for pottery. I love to get my hands dirty.
