"Verdant"
I gave this painting as a gift to my friend Ferdinand Martirizar. The title says about greeneries. I used malunggay stems to impress the shades of scattered green oil paint on canvas. I also did some strokes to impress patterns.
Verdant came to be from my fascination towards greeneries, vegetation and landscaping. Green I believe is the color of primordial life. Algae, lichens, mosses, seaweeds, grasslands - they make the beginning of life on earth possible. When I am in the middle of green landscapes, I feel like I am immersed with nature. The hue of chlorophyll makes me relax and just enjoy the beauty of this world. Green makes me breathe lighter. When there are plants around that also means plenty of oxygen for my lungs.
This painting illustrates a friendship bound by travel and nature escapades. We have known each other since High School and thus this artwork portrays how green with life and sprinkled with joy our friendship is.
