Foremost, I paint these works because I feel the need to exhaust my emotions onto my canvases. It is only then that they become informational, urging viewers to be aware of what’s happening around us.” - 2011charliecohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00205887870636210766noreply@blogger.comBlogger5125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766446879042405368.post-91053187850810797372017-01-21T07:34:00.002-08:002017-01-21T07:35:54.319-08:00Check out this video made by Noah del Rosario.

He is also known for his mixed media works, combining terracota sculptures and oil on wood, oil pastel on paper and pen and ink works.<br />He is represented in both private and public collections of prestigious institutions here and abroad including the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum,Singapore Museum, Queensland Art Gallery,Metropolitan Museum and Lopez Museum in Manila and the Bencab Museum in Baguio Philippines.<br />He is currently running a local gallery in Bacolod City, Gallery Orange, a venue for upcoming local artists.
