Manansala Paintings At The National Museum

It was a heartwarming experience to be back in the country's home of precious art collections, natural history, ethnography, fine arts and the famous Spoliarium by Filipino artist Juan Luna at the National Museum Of The Philippines. 

The Philam Life Manansala Series No. 1 "Manok" at the National Museum of the Philippines

A couple of weeks ago, I attended an exclusive tour of the Philam Life Gallery. The exhibit featured the works of our National Artist, the late Vicente Manansala. With the help of Philam Life more paintings of Manansala are made available for public viewing.

The partnership between Philam Life and National Museum aims to promote arts. For Filipinos have better access to these precious artworks and encourage us to visit the museum more often. The art collections are the seven paintings that depict Filipino life, rendered in the artist signature style of "transparent cubism".

The wooden floor and the old walls of National Museum bring back the memories of my childhood when I first set foot in this museum. What took me so long to go back? How about you?

For the maintenance and restoration of Philam Life Collection, Philam Life donated P1 Million to the National Museum. In addition, the company partnered with National Museum in building four Philam Paaralan classrooms in Bohol and Guiuan, Eastern Samar.
