Virrco\u2019s Inspiration<\/p>\n

Who inspired you to paint? None inspired me to paint. Can\u2019t attribute it to a person. But can attribute it to NY as a place. NY will surround you with different kinds\/forms of art, it awakened the artist in me.<\/p>\n

Artist Name- Virrco<\/p>\n

You are using Virrco, why that name? My subjects\u00a0are women and guess it is influenced by the strong-willed, independent, and well-accomplished women in my family, my friends, and workplace. Always been fascinated by the trait and characters that they always manifest in my paintings. VIRRCO IS A COMBINation of the family names of my grandparents. It is a tribute to them. a combination and a product of all of them. Believe that if not for their genes and experiences, wouldn\u2019t be who I am. VI for VIctorio, Rs for Ruga, Repil and Royo, CO for Rico.\"\"<\/p>\n

Past Projects<\/p>\n

Some of your work was an exhibit in New York City. Yes, had two exhibits done in NYC. In the building gallery where I work in 2nd avenue and 42nd st. It\u2019s one of my first 2 abundance paintings, showcasing Filipino people with their harvest. It is a tribute to my roots as a Filipino. Also had two one-man exhibits in queens, one showcasing Filipiniana arts again showcasing Filipinos with baskets in Filipiniana attire, and the 2nd showcasing colorful watercolor art and acrylic which we converted as wearable art, like shirts, dresses, scarves, etc.\"\"<\/p>\n

Advocacy<\/p>\n

Heard that you are helping the less fortunate with your paintings. My artwork helps the children with HIV and Aids under the care of Duyan project. These children are survived by their grandparents or aunts and uncle. These families have difficulty buying food to place on their table, so buying Medicine is not their priority. Can\u2019t fathom how difficult their situation is. Just really heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your advocacy and upcoming projects. Really wanted to help more these children of Duyan. In my little way, hoping to shed light on them, not only through the income coming from art but as well as to encourage other people to share their blessings with these children.\"\"<\/p>\n
