Pinto Art Gallery: Appreciating Local Art

Earlier today, for our Visual Communication class, me and my other block mates went to the must-visit Pinto Art Gallery. Actually it is my first time to set foot in this place, though I have been hearing a lot of compliments about this place, I never had a chance to visit this gallery. Thanks to our professor, Ms. Mariel Cruz, for encouraging us to visit this place to appreciate the art, as per related to our subject.

It was a nice place. The art installations will make you go "whoa!", not just by its visual form, but also with the stories behind every artwork.

Oh hi there Ms. Mariel! Wihi. 

My friends Kath & Sharmaine checking out on some action-filled paintings. The portraits are a little bit scary at first but when you check every detail of it, it will surely explain why you should appreciate these works. 

I really love staircases! Cheers to the architect of this gallery. I adore staircases too much that the paintings besides it makes it more fabulous. Reminds me so much of teleseryes with extravagant houses.

This portrait reminds me so much of my childhood. I grew up receiving dresses like this from my grandmothers. The color is so perfect and it even looks like it has filter or edited on VSCO. I adore the artist of this work so much. 

Among all the artworks, this one is my favorite- perfectly, color-combined studded turtle great for living room displays. Hoping one day this will be on a raffle and I'll win. Hihi.

Visiting art galleries are definitely a therapy to the soul. You get to see masterpieces that are created with such passion and unlimited inspiration. I highly recommend you guys to visit this place, especially for those who want to see exceptional beauty found in artworks.
