Ever studied mythology back in high school, especially the Greek and Norse gods, so you could not fail on your Araling Panlipunan (or History) subject?<\/p>\n

Filipino artist Marco Polo \u201cMarpolo\u201d Coria Cabrera invites you to reminisce on that phase with his exhibit, \u201cDivine Realms: Philippine Mythological Dieties\u201d, running until Mar. 30 at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts Gallery.<\/p>\n

The exhibit features artworks of \u201ckaluwalhatian\u201d, the Philippines\u2019 own version of heaven, which are inspired by Philippine folklore, musical influences, and dusk and dawn color palettes.<\/p>\n

Through mixed media and abstract paintings, Cabrera reintroduces and reimagines Filipino gods and goddesses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cabrera is a visual artist from Nagcarlan, Laguna, and has a bachelor\u2019s degree in broadcasting from Laguna Polytechnic University. In pursuit of the arts, he attended the Lasalle College of Arts in Singapore to further train his skills and expand his capabilities back in 2018.<\/p>\n

The exhibit aims to renew respect and value for stories promoting cultural appreciation and identity, highlighting Filipino myths for the youth, and ensuring that these stories will carry on in the fast-paced modern age.<\/p>\n

Divine Realms honors the Philippines\u2019 past and fables while sparking a deeper appreciation for its culture, art, and heritage. Admission is free to the public.<\/p>\n
