“Mestiza” by Esteban Villanueva y Vinarao (Filipino) - Oil on canvas / 1875 - Museo Nacional del Prado (Madrid, Spain) #WomenInArt #art #artText #artwork #BlueskyArt #EstebanVillanueva #EstebanVillanuevaYVinarao #Villanueva #MuseoDelPrado #PortraitofaWoman #FilipinoArt #FilipinoArtist #PhilippineArt
Dated 1875, this painting is described in Museo Nacional del Prado records as an “estudio del natural” (a study from life) made at the Manila academy, part of a group of portraits by Filipino artist Esteban Villanueva y Vinarao presenting “tipos del país” (“types of the country” aka “local types”). The title “Mestiza” invokes a Spanish-colonial categorization for mixed ancestry and an “identity” shaped by power and hierarchy. It is a waist-up portrait of a young woman, shown seated and turned three-quarters looking past us rather than meeting our eyes. Her skin is warm medium-brown, with gentle highlights on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones. The modeling is smooth and careful, emphasizing a quiet, self-possessed expression. Her brows are softly arched and her lips are closed with a faint tension at the corners that can read as wary, thoughtful, or simply reserved. Dark hair is neatly center-parted and brushed back into a low bun, with a thin band of light catching along the hairline. Small gold-toned earrings glint at each ear. She wears a white blouse with vertical rose-pink stripes and broad, puffed sleeves. At the neck and sleeve edges, white lace and embroidery create a soft, scalloped border that contrasts with the crisp stripes. The paint catches the fabric’s sheen as bright along the shoulder and sleeve tops, deeper in the folds, so you can almost feel the weight and coolness of the cloth. A fine chain necklace has a square, gray medallion. She emerges from a simple backdrop of dark brown field transitions to a cooler, pale gray on the left. Villanueva y Vinarao, trained in Manila and later in Spain, paints with academic restraint rather than spectacle. The neutral ground, controlled light, and averted gaze suggest interior life, not display. Now in the Prado’s collection and on loan to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, this portrait also reminds us how images travel while the people they picture are too often left unnamed.

The transmasc character is also using a cane, and the characters are leaning close, possibly about to kiss. At the top is a small box that says "Page artist" and at the bottom is a colorful banner that says "We've Always Been Here."

Love in Neon. I wish I was better at articulating everything I’m feeling inside. It’s so easy to feel defeated, it’s so easy to have apathy, but we shouldn’t.
I’m happy to have my art as a way to release all the energy for the words I couldn’t say.

Kumusta Po Mamsir (Gen 3): Holiday Hapunan - 2022

Intro Comic pt. 1

#art #oldart #illustration #bskyart #drawing #filipino #filipinoart #citypop #comic #webcomic
Rough drawing of an of Tokyo Tower at night. The establishing shot is don win a “Sailor Moon” inspired style with heavy use of blues to establish the night scene, yellows depicting the lights from the buildings and crescent moon, and a mixture of pink and pale yellow blurry circles to express a enchanting vibe. On the bottom shows a magenta text bubble saying “In the middle of the Holiday Season, the stars twinkle and the moon shines bright in downtown Tokyo.” Next shot is zoomed out even more where the establishing shot is now the background window view from the inside of a subway. The place is crowded with people looking at the window in blur but the center shows a business woman looking at the viewer. She is rather plain looking, with brown hair reaching to her collar, orange eyes, a slight tan to her skin. She wears a business attire consisting of a white button up, black tie, a one of those grey puffy down jackets commonly bought from Uniqlo. On the bottom shows a magenta text bubble saying “You, Kanin (or Go-chan through your friends), are a single woman living the salary-man life.” The business woman has an emotionless look on her face as she passes through the subway gates into an open area filled with couples. The entire scene with background characters are colored in various shades of purple while Kanin is in full color. The magenta text box continues, “Finishing another 12 hour shift at work, you’re exhausted and hungry. However the street is filled with nothing but happy couples. Kanin walks further out of the train station with a cartoonishly tired and disgruntled look on her face and her hand on her chest. Speech bubbles with a bowl of rice and a glass heart with a little bit of blood left inside appear beside her. The magenta text box shows what Kanin says, “Ugh! If only there’s something that can fill my empty stomach,, and my empty heart.”
