Private Collection (first purchase)

I have just begun to start collecting my first works of art last September 2008. The journey began from my father's interest in art wherein he took me along to galleries and exhibits to look at paintings, sculptures and etc. We went to numerous and countless events and looked at countless pieces of art but among all of the paintings that I have seen in those galleries and exhibits, one thing caught my eye and these were nude sketches.

As i saw these sketches hanging on the wall, they left me with a brave yet subtle impression. Brave because there are only a few artists who really exposed nude works (at home or in galleries), specially here in the Philippines where the social setting is conservative. So like the paintings, i took a chance of buying a few pieces for my own personal collection.

The artist who made these paintings is Mr. Cris Cruz, a renowned Filipino master artist. His artworks are often found in UP Diliman where it is exhibited and sold for the support of younger artists and arts in the Philippines.

I hope you enjoy these paintings as much as i have enjoyed purchasing them and hanging them on my wall.
