One bright, sunny day in June, my friends and I took on a
long drive to Antipolo. Antipolo is
quite far from my residence but I have been wanting to go there for the longest
time.
You see, Pinto Art Museum beckons.
Whether or not one lives nearby, Pinto Art Museum feels like
it’s worlds away. You’d feel transported
to another realm with its white-washed walls, lush greenery, abundance of
natural light, and fresh air. The entire
place is peaceful and inviting.
Nestled in a huge property in the mountains of Antipolo, the
place is divided into several galleries, gardens, and a lovely café, with
sculptures ranging from pretty to cute to bizarre dotting the greenery. The galleries are home to works by various
artists. I have noticed that the artists
use every medium imaginable to create their masterpieces – yes, there ‘s every
kind of paint, clay, and textile but there is also x-ray film, wire, and other
found objects. A visual treat awaits at
every nook and cranny of the place.
It’s not everyday that I come across a thing of beauty. Pinto Art Museum has an abundance of
beautiful things – and it’s not just the art.
The wooden doors, the flowers that sweep the staircase, the inviting
outdoor couch, the al fresco dining sets…everything just comes so beautifully
put together, making Pinto Art Museum truly a place for creativity and
inspiration.
