"Black Heart" A Solo Exhibit of Apyang

What's up Art Lovers and fellow Batangueños!

Art Fair 2014 maybe over and in case you've missed it, don't fret 'cause there's still an exciting line up of Art Activities in store for you this whole month of March! Aside from the Art Installations all over Metro Manila, we also have some exciting exhibits here in Batangas.
Yes! Batangas Pride!

One of the artists I admire is having her first solo exhibit this coming March 22, that's on Saturday at Gigabite, Tanauan City, Batangas and I'm really excited to see what she has prepared since I've been a fan of her artworks even before.

Meanwhile, here's a little profile background of the artist.

ARTIST on Spotlight: 

Artist Profile:

I am Apyang. My full name is April Amor Mea. I’m a self taught visual artist. 25 years old. I started drawing when I was 4 years old. I didn’t pursue art way back school days because music was my first love. One day I met an artist and he showed me how beautiful the art world is. I began to believe that I have a room for it, that I can do both- music and art.

My artworks. I’m easily fascinated with movies, with personality, and girls. My influences in my art style, of course Audrey Kawasaki, Marco Mazzoni, and Kukula. 

"BLACK HEART"

“Black Heart” came from the song of Incubus called “Black Heart Inertia”.  This is apparently my post celebration of

 Valentine’s Day. There’ll be a set of art specifically portraits of girls . Each girls in the portrait will symbolize the pain, the sadness, the struggles about love/ relationship. etc. There’ll be a minimum of 6 portraits.

It won't only be a night of art but of music as well (and beers, too!)

Fun Under the Sun

Malasimbo 2014 Hangover

Officially kicked off Summer 2014 by attending the Malasimbo Music Festival! Still feeling the Malasimbo hype as I type this. I'm sure that anyone who has experienced Malasimbo could relate to what I feel - Malasimbo Hangover!

It was actually my second time to go to the festival and I fell in love with it just like the first time. Love is indeed sweeter the second time around.

Why do I love this Music Festival so much that I couldn't help but invite everyone I know to come and experience Malasimbo?

Here's why.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, music lover, reggae or not, festival-goer or your friend just dragged you and had no idea what this festival is about, you'd surely enjoy Malasimbo. I mean, who wouldn't fall in love with the whole Malasimbo set-up?

Just picture this, a music festival on a top of a mountain in Puerto Galera (one of the most beautiful bays in the world), international and local artists perform on stage while you watch under coconut trees or even while lying on your mats, no VIP tickets so sometimes, you have no idea that you're already sitting beside an artist and mingle with them later, drinks everywhere, art installations all over the place plus the cool people who make the whole Malasimbo experience even more memorable!

This is the Music Festival where everyone is your friend and definitely a festival one shouldn't miss. Of course, a side trip to the beach/es of Puerto Galera is a must! Lastly, the proceeds from the Festival will be used in preservation of the culture of our indigenous people, particularly the Mangyans of Mindoro. So that makes Music Festival & Beach Getaway (for a cause) all in one trip.

Here are some of the photos during Malasimbo 2014.

Ice cream while waiting.

The view! Cropped the pic just because! Hehe!

It's good to be back! 

Malasimbo Crew, Okay!

Aren't you all excited?  I am! So make sure to include Malasimbo on your next year's Summer activities!

I'll be blogging about Malasimboat Party on my next post. (Yes! there's also a boat party! ;) )

It was a tiring yet productive Monday. How did you start your week?

To Changes and New Beginnings

As you can see, I have a new banner for my blog. Yey! :)

Not everyone knows that I'm the kind of person who's always open to try out new things! So now, I've decided to do some changes in this blog. Since my life isn't all about travelling (how I wish I could travel everyday for the rest of my life!), I've decided to also start blogging about the other things I love - Arts, Design and DIY. 

I wasn't able to blog for 3 months mainly because I've been busy and more active in the outside world.  

I also started working recently. I do interior styling and I also work as a consultant for a private Construction firm. I'll be posting my projects here, moodboards, inspiration and stuff, wouldn't you like that? :)

I've also started teaching Art Lessons during weekends. I teach Basic Drawing and Painting to kids and I'm telling you, there's nothing more satisfying than to see them actually enjoying arts as much as I do (or even more!). 

Hmmm. What else?

Ahh! I've been doing DIY stuff recently and I really love it! I cannot wait to share some of my projects with you!

So there, I hope you all join me in this new adventure! It's gonna be fun! I promise!

Godbless!

It's been awhile!

Hi guys! It's been awhile since I posted in this blog. I just want to let everyone know that I'm still alive hehe! I'm currently re-designing my blog, trying out new layouts, etc! Can't wait to share about our recent trip to Puerto Galera for the Malasimbo Festival 2014! 

In the meantime, here's a selfie from yours truly. 

 

Now back to designing. Laters guys! I missed this! xx
