It's More F.A.N. Arts Exhibit

 Burikbutikan Artists Collective has been organizing Arts Exhibits not just to promote Bikol arts but also to help bikolano artists for their advocates and passion using their mediums. This month, the local group features 3 artists of the region, Frank Penones, Jr., Alden Velasquez, and Nona Beltran.

The opening was held at the group's base, Arte des Cafes in San Nicolas, Baao, Camarines Sur. The president of the group and the beautiful owner of the art place, Ms. Bernadette De Los Santos, opened the event.

Frank Penones, Jr. is renowned as a Bikolano writer. But this exhibit also shows his other interest in the realm of art, making masterpiece out of ingenious and scrap materials he found anywhere.

 It is my first time to meet Alden Velasquez, a painter from Nabua, Camarines Sur. He features his abstraction series explaining what he views with his life. He is also a figurative painter.

Unfortunately, I was not able to meet Nona Beltran. Her artworks are still life and figurative paintings.

It's More F.A.N. Arts Exhibit is a month-long show. Visit Cafe des Artes, Baao to see what these 3 bikolano visual artists can offer.
