                    [Summary] => The scale of the Sky is high and clear. The scale of the Earth is vast and deep. The Sky enlaces the Landscape with the wind and clouds. The Earth animates the Landscape with the rivers and rocks. It is only through capturing the scale of the Sky and Earth that one may probe the unpredictable mutations of Landscape. – artist/theorist Shitao of the Ming Dynasty

                    [Summary] => I’m quite sure it was Tessie Luz who gave me a call and told me about Claudio Bravo, a Chilean artist who was in the Philippines for a visit. Tessie, I soon found out, was gathering women who wanted their portraits done. Since I never had a formal portrait done, I agreed. In fact, I only had a pastel of Mai and myself. Here’s how it happened.

Two years later, the house in Forbes Park stands as proof that Anton’s passion for beauty is in his work.

Imagine all these primary colors of red, blue, green and yellow tamed into delicate compositions that inspire equanimity and reflection. Then the question comes to mind: So what is it that seems to calm these bold colors? That, I had to find out from Martin-Calero himself.
