REFLECTION:
These paintings got my attention and solaced my eyes at all. As a matter of fact, these are first-8 paintings that i took picture of. It caused me to feel better since these artworks have different shades of black and gray on its whole craft as these colors are my favorite. Also, these artworks that created by different personality have impact on me as a person with fondness in art because it really inspire me to do my very own art featuring black and gray color. And if you have noticed, i took two visual arts of National artist Frederico Aguilar Alcuaz named “Show Window” and “Reencuentro U” because i feel amazed by these paintings since i love the combinations of its color and it pleased me in a way that i found relaxation as these paintings placed in a bit dark room but emphasized with white wall. As a whole, i am very greatful to all artists for their works which bring life lessons that I, as a viewer, may found out and learn through its meaning.
