Pinto Art Museum
I am not artsy. I am the "exception to the rule" when they say that left handed people are good with drawing or painting or any visual arts. However, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good artwork when I see one. Or I am just pretending to really appreciate art. Anyway....
I've been hearing good reviews and seeing amazing pictures of the Pinto Art Museum. According to all this information online, this Museum in Antipolo, Rizal is operated by Silangan Foundation for Arts, Culture, and Ecology, a non-profit organization. What sets this museum apart from any other museum is how it has incorporated nature in the presentation of the artwork. Unlike other museum where paintings and sculptures are arranged meticulously in an airconditioned building, Pinto made use of its 1.2 hectare property by putting artworks in the garden and in buildings that reminds me of the structures in Greece.
Most of the paintings and sculptures, as the curator/artist Andy Orencio explained, are representations of how our society have been deteriorating due to factors such as inequality and immorality. However, this does not mean that there's no hope. If we just learn how to work together, we might be able to save our society.
There's a part in the museum, which features indigenous art like Bululs and weaved cloth. Bulul are carved wooden figures that are made by the Igorots to guard their rice crops.
More than the paintings and the sculptures, what really captured my attention was the structures of the building. Partly growing up in a Spanish-inspired house, I have always loved big windows, wooden doors, wide archways and staircases.
Kudos to the people who conceptualized this unusual museum. They made trips to the museum less boring (let's admit it people, many of us get bored when we go to museums) and more non-artist friendly. I would definitely go back.
