Hello everyone! I will be participating with Regine here as well as 70+ other artists at the Bloom Arts Festival tomorrow. I have a print for sale there and I will be putting up the artwork on my blogs very soon. Hope you can go check it out in the flesh :D September 29, Cubao X.

Hello dear friends!

If you are in Manila this weekend I highly encourage you to visit the Bloom Arts Festival happening at Cubao X on September 29, 2012! It’s going to be a massive exhibition of some of the best and brightest up-and-coming artists of all mediums in the Philippines so if you can make it, you’ll definitely have a wonderful time!

I have a little piece up there too, so i’m pretty stoked! 

Hey boys and girls! It’s the first time that I’d be showing to everyone three of my artworks that have been flooded. Thank God I scanned them high res, now they’re art prints. :)

See all three tomorrow at Bloom Arts Festival, Cubao X, 6PM. :)

Independence Day inspired painted @KedsPH. Stay tuned for the full step by step post soon!#picstitch (Taken with Instagram)

Dear friends who are asking if these are for auction, I shall ask Keds PH. Will post the updates tomorrow. But I have a feeling this pair will be for auction (or for sale)!

Last Christmas, my fiancé Cj de Silva gave this to me. I feel so loved. She’s an amazing artist.

Hi everyone! I’m selling my painting entitled Reflection, Perception. Last January, Clinique Philippines invited me together with other female Filipino artists Valerie Chua, Jin Joson and Kasey Albano to be part of their launch event (click here to read more about the event!). We were asked to interpret the theme “You are a work of art”. So here’s my take on it. And now I’m selling it.

If anyone of you is interested, please email me at contact@cjdesilva.com

Please share and reblog! Thank you, folks.

Our Sunset

9x12 inches, Watercolor on watercolor paper

My old friend asked me to paint a happy couple with a beautiful sunset behind them. This is his gift to his girlfriend.

Just email me at contact@cjdesilva.com if you want to commission a painting too. :)

CLINIQUE, a trusted makeup brand, recently commissioned me (together with Valerie Chua, Jin Joson and Kasey Albano) to create an artwork using their new makeup line with my favorite painting medium. They gave us a theme to work on - “you as a work of art”. And here’s what I came up with!

“Reflection, Perception”

12” x 18” inches

Watercolours, Clinique Chubby Sticks, Clinique Foundation, Clinique Eyeliner, Clinique Lid Smoothie

Beauty is perspective. You are the greatest reflection of your idea of beauty. More than other people’s perception of you, what you think is beautiful shapes what you project. When you live your idea of beauty and take care for yourself, mind and body, that’s when it becomes something you can touch and feel.

I enjoyed integrating CLINIQUE’s new makeup line with my artwork because its new colors are vivid (but not flashy), feminine and fun, especially the eyeliners. CLINIQUE’s liners had the classic neutral colors (black, dark blue and army green) but with subtle sparkles.

If you are interested, this artwork is actually for sale. You may send me a private message for the price (because its definitely negotiable).

Young ‘Un!

Seeing Graham Coxon painting just inspires me and makes me kilig. (Why isn’t there an English word for “kilig”)

One Sunday afternoon, Saab asked me if I can make a doodle of her.

Of course I would. But instead of a doodle, why not a clean sketch? :)

Hugs Saab.

This particular cabinet makeover idea inspired me. I’ve kept my room too plain for so long. It’s about time to make it spiffy again.

Hey guys! Please get a copy of CLAVEL magazine’s June issue cause I’m in it, and the shoes that I painted on. ;-) Get to know me more too! Thanks Cris Ramos for the interview and the kick-ass intro!
