INK ON PAPER
11X13
P 3,000.00
This an ink piece entitled “The Philippines, One Body, One Dance.”
The visual poetry that accompanies the piece is taken from 1 Corinthians 12:12 of the Bible and declares,
"The body is one unit, though it is made up of many parts and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ."
This is my prayer for our country, and this piece is my interpretation of a people untied, joined together for a common purpose, which is the good of the nation and its people.
The black ink piece is striking in its simplicity against the white paper and displayed in a black stand frame
with the purpose of being a desktop or shelf work of art.

THE PARABLES OF THE CHRIST
an art exhibition
curated by xander calceta
15-31 AUGUST 2009
THE PARABLE OF THE SALT OF THE EARTH
Matthew 5:13
Salt a valuable commodity, one that preserves.
Salt though a valuable commodity, the humblest ingredient.
Salt, an image used to describe how disciples are to live in the world.
Salt, an abstract representation of truth thirsty for goodness.
Salt that has lost its savor, good for nothing.
Salt that flavors, a thirst for life.
The piece is painful in its texture, like that of salt cleansing the wound of sin.
The essence is growth in difficulty, a life given to be touched and changed by the Christ.

THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
Luke 19:11-27
Some are born into abundance, whilst others into scarcity.
But what matters is not what we are given; it is what we do with it.
Our talents are entrusted to us, and to create abundance requires movement beyond fear.
We are stewards of our wealth, wealth well beyond material possessions.
The praise, given for faithfulness, and not for result.
The reward, joy in serving, an outward flow into the work done.
The piece is just in its composition, like that which is expected of what we are given.
The essence is a bold courage in faith, a life moved by an unmoved faithfulness to God.

THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS
Matthew 25:1-13
A story of great dramatic expectancy and a night of romance, but also a warning.
The midnight hour, an agonizing and an ecstatic threshold in time.
The lamp, a symbol of the spirit of a person.
The oil, a picture of God's Eternal Spirit.
A call to spiritual attentiveness, and an important spiritual preparation in God.
The midnight cry will be a cry of alarm, but for the wise a time of great wonder.
The piece is dark in its form, like the darkness that falls beyond our comfort.
The essence is that a fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, a life prepared for the coming of the Bridegroom.
