August 25, 2011, the day when we went to Bonifacio Global City attend Manila Art 2011 Fair and to witness the beautiful works of art by our national artists. Before we left St. Scho, I’m so worried because I left my camera. I even called my brother to send the camera for me all the way from Valenzuela City. As expected, I will be scolded but luckily, he really went to Vito Cruz to give me my camera (the best brother!). I was relieved when I finally made it to the van where others are waiting. Maybe if I was delayed by one minute, they will already leave me there.
I was thrilled, surprised and shocked as I look to each and every painting and sculpture that they had in there. It’s totally amazing that such artists can express their selves and can make a very beautiful paintings and sculptures. I really enjoyed it so much, but of all the art figures that I saw when we made a visit there, 2 artworks really caught my eyes.
First is this photo:
This photo actually took my attention from the very beginning. It was entitled, “Phobia” by Jaspher Penuliar. If you’re going to look at the photo, it’s about a boy with a scary expression on his face
And it is caused by the phobia that he’s feeling. His phobia can’t be necessarily a ghost. It can be also because he had a tragedy or an unforgettable experience from his past that is why he’s suffering from it now. The uniqueness and the feeling of suspense made me love that painting even more. While looking closely at the painting, I noticed that he had this red ribbon tied on his left wrist. I tried to search for its significance and I found out that it is a symbol from the teachings of Kabbalah to protect from the influences of the “Evil Eye”, a powerful negative force. So it’s like the child is scared of something that bothers him but all he can do was scream and run and hide and wear that red ribbon, but he won’t be able to survive there.
If I’m going to make a movie about this concept, I would say that I’m going to make a horror film entitled “Don’t move”. J This will be about a new transferred teacher named Jen that will be the adviser of the students in 4th grade. She didn’t have a hard time being friendly with all her students except for a boy named John who doesn’t get along well with others and just sits at the side of the corner and not talk to other people. She tried to know more about John until she found out that there is some kind of evil spirit that is bothering him from his childhood. When Jen found out about his problem, she was shocked because she also experienced this kind of problem in her childhood. It’s like she’s encountering a Déjà vu. Being concerned with John, she cannot decide if she’ll just leave John behind and let him suffer to that evil spirit that’s haunting him or she’ll face her fears and also help John face his fears so that he can be free from this evil spirit. At the end, Jen overcome her fears and they prevent the evil spirit in haunting John but as a consequence, the evil spirit transferred to Jen. Jen was killed by the evil spirit at the end.
The other painting that caught my attention is this beautiful painting of a girl in the veranda with lots and lots of flowers. She’s sitting there while playing his favorite instrument. When my friend and I were talking about this painting, my friend told me that someone told her that this painting was only drew from the painter’s memory about his love one. It’s truly amazing that painters can actually visualize their art only from their mind and they can draw it so well. Paintings like this made me feel relax because it looks calm and it’s very detailed. It’s as if you are really looking at the real scene of the painting.
With this painting, I thought that if I will make a movie about this, it will surely be the fantasy and the magical cartoon type of film. It will be about a boy name Ken who works as a musician but loves painting as his hobby. One fine Sunday, he decided to paint and his painting turned out exactly like the painting above. When he’s about to make some finishing touch, her bad stepMother, a lucky charm-type of mom asked him to go to the Spell’s store to pick up her orders. Being the obedient type of son, he went there to pick up the orders. When the owner of the store saw him, she weirdly stares on Ken and she was saying about true love but be careful for he might lose it in the end. Ken didn’t believe in her. Before he leaves, the store owner gave him a charm. When he arrived home, he threw the charm to the same place where the painting stands.
Ken wasn’t aware that the charm has magic and it made the painting in real life.So everyday, the girl popped out from the painting and became alive but she always return to the painting at night. When Ken spent more and more time with her, He felt that it's true love that he's feeling when he's with her. At the end , when the moon is out, and the girl is in the form of the painting, his stepmother went to his room. they had an argument and because his stepmom got pissed, she threw the painting and it broke. Ken weeped so hard for he lost his one and true love but luckily the women in the spell shop turned out to be a Fairy God Mother and she fixed the painting made the girl in the painting permanently living as a human and they live happily ever after.
