In Rainbows


The paintings that immediately catch my attention are the ones that are brimming with color. I first found Qiurui Du when I came across this SinoVision clip. The young artist from China uses vibrant hues and thick lines to portray ordinary people and everyday scenes that he grew up with. Some of his paintings combine pop culture with disturbing objects and terrifying creatures that look as if they belong in an animated horror movie. They're playful, chaotic, and absolutely beautiful.

Du graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons School of Design. He is based in Beijing and New York, where he is pursuing his Masters in Painting and Drawing at the Pratt Institute.

The Chameleon

Damon Albarn is a genius. He constantly reinvents himself, pushes his boundaries, and challenges his listeners.

More Than Just Smiles and Sunsets

                  Ayala Museum is currently hosting "Amorsolo: Chroma" - a spectrum of brilliance you wouldn't want to miss. It is more than just a collection of paintings; it’s an experience. It’s a masterclass in light and color, a journey into the mind of a Filipino genius, and a fresh perspective on an artist many of us thought we knew. The first thing that you will notice you when you step into "Chroma" is… well, the chroma. While Amorsolo is famed for his mastery of light, this exhibition dives deeper into his entire color palette. It’s like entering a vibrant, living spectrum. Go check it!

It's Beautiful, But Also Could Explode

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water. It's like an  Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.
