'Makarios': Paano pinag-uugnay ng pintor na si Mon Coloma ang mga kultura sa kanyang sining

Itinuturing ni Mon Coloma na isang milagro ang higit apat na dekada ng kanyang pagiging pintor matapos niyang makaligtas sa isang malubhang karamdaman. Simula noon, isinumpa niyang iaalay ang kanyang talento sa paglilingkod, pagmamahal sa kapwa, at pananampalataya sa Diyos.

Key Points

• Itinampok ng multi-awarded Filipino visual artist na si Mon Coloma ang kanyang mga obra sa isang exhibit bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Philippine-Australia Friendship Day at Philippine Heritage Month.
• Aminado siyang hamon para sa mga tradisyunal na pintor ang pag-usbong ng teknolohiya at AI, ngunit umaasa siyang magagamit ito upang maipahayag ang sining na may positibong mensahe.
• Ang 'Makarios' exhibit ay bukas sa publiko hanggang Hunyo 6, 2025.

Fr. Jun Perez, SVD, a missionary and Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation Coordinator, was deeply moved by the collection. For him, the exhibit carried a spiritual and social message.

The exhibit drew a crowd of Filipino community leaders, Blacktown MP Stephen Bali, Consul General Charmaine Rowena Aviquivil, and representatives from various consulates.

Through his art, Coloma has met many people who became friends and inspirations. One of them is William Kaddissi from the State Emergency Service, whose portrait is in the exhibit. Another is Jessica, who admires how Coloma captures both emotion and the story behind each subject.
