Inspired by faith and depictions from the past. Most of these paintings were created by local artist and is on display for public viewing. My interest in art grows every time we visit galleries and exhibits. I fell in love with the works of our National Artist Juan Luna. I still remember how I felt chills all over my body the moment I saw his colossal creation "Spoliarium."

Thanks for joining me in this short walk thru the gallery. I am no art expert but we can all tell if we love something just by looking at it. History and background is a great addition to our knowledge but sometimes we just need to sit, be silent and just appreciate the artistry.

Have a good evening Steemians.
