Artist: Cris Velasco

Chris Velasco was born on November 21, 1953, in Sabang, Baliuag, Bulacan. He graduated from the University of the East with a degree in Fine Arts and is a member of Lakan Sining ng Bulacan. Although a Painting major, his pieces are sculpted wood works where he adds grains of sand and metal to make it more realistic. Inspired by Spanish Colonial era architecture, Velasco’s pieces are beautiful expressions of liminal spaces: doorways, archways, and windows reminiscent of Hispanic Bulaceña

The World in Full Circle

Life is not a race. There will be moments of abundance and sometimes scarcity. Therefore we must not be complacent when we are at the bottom neither should we be arrogant when we are at the top.

Enjoy each achievements and humbly learn from failures. The most beautiful thing about this world is that it always finds away to keep everything in balance.
