“KRISTO,” THE annual Lenten offering of visual artists from Bulacan, is now on its 10th year with a larger participation of homegrown talents—from beginner artists to established and acclaimed names.
“HAPAG ng Pag-asa” and other works of the late religious artist Joey Velasco are on exhibit at Museo de Santo Domingo in Quezon City until April 24.
The exhibit “Beyond Life” seeks to help Catholics this Lent to “meditate on the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ through the paintings,” said Fr. Giuseppe Arsciwals, OP, prior of the Sto. Domingo Convent.
IN “INANG MARIA,” the exhibit mounted to mark the golden year of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Valenzuela, artists, mainly based in Bulacan, take turns in depicting with both creativity and fondness the Mother of God.
Ernesto “Aris” Bagtas of the Art Association of the Philippines led a group of artists in donating 38 artworks for the exhibit at Museo Valenzuela, located just beside the shrine.

IS THIS the face of Christ?
This question has intrigued the millions of poeple who have seen the Shroud of Turin, the venerated “burial clothes of Jesus Christ” believed to have captured Christ’s image after the Crucifixion.
UPANG gunitain ang pista ni Santo Domingo de Guzman, ang tagapagtatag ng kongregrasyong Order of Preachers, inilunsad ng kumbento ng Santo Domingo ang Santo Domingo Exhibit kung saan makikikita ang mga antigong paglalarawan sa mga bagay at tauhan na nauugnay sa ama ng mga Dominikano.
DESPITE his acclaimed artworks, businessman-artist Joey Velasco still doesn’t like to be labeled a painter. He prefers to be called a “heartist."
