Honoring our fine artists
A double celebration was recently held at the Makati Shangri-La’s Shang Palace in honor of Asia’s Fashion Czar Pitoy Moreno who was named as our National Artist for Fashion Design and a despedida for the lovely world-acclaimed artist Lea Salonga who is leaving for her upcoming concert in the US.
The dinner was hosted by the charming Nene Leonor and her son JB Leonor with wife Gina. Family and friends had a blast as they spent the evening with two of the countries finest artists.
Cheers!
Family and fine art
Mother and son artists, award-winning Isabel Echevarria Rocha and Iñaki Echevarria Rocha recently launched their latest painting collection at an exhibit titled “Impression and Illusion” at the Yellow Door Gallery and Power Plant Mall.
Isabel Echevarria-Rocha has been recognized artistically for her Asian and Spanish-inspired works while Iñaki Echevarria-Rocha has been known for his pop and classic motivated art.
The tandem has truly illustrated their great talent through their most inspiring creation.
Cheers!
