Namamangha ako sa mga artists na walang keme, yung plain artists lang talaga. Walang entourage, walang ere, yung mga oras hindi nakasubsob sa launching or schedules, chill lang kumbaga. Kung gusto nilang mag malling or mag hiking para magkaroon nang inspirisyon, gagawin nila. Kung gusto nilang maki-jam or kumain nang marami, mag-jejeep or makikisabay sa mga kaibigan at makikipagkwentuhan parang isang tambay sa kanto. They know they are good at what they do, pero they don't need to advertise it. And their art is not really the focal point of any conversation. Sabi ko nga, para ka lang may kausap at tumatambay sa isang kanto. Alam mong ikaw puro salita lang maiibigay mo pero sila they are geniuses with really something tangible to brag about.
I'm not artistic. I'm not really good with my hands in particular. Kaya super nalang ako mamangha sa mga artists na nakakagawa nang kabilib-bilib gamit ang mga simpleng bagay at kanilang mga kamay. May that be drawings, sculptures, paintings, carpentry or knitting. Bilib ako sa mga artists na tinalikuran ang safety nets of having a normal job and focused on their art and how to make a decent living out of it, may that be from small shops or huge partnerships. Ang hirap nun ah! Mas saludo ako kung nakamit nila ang mararangyang papuri at nakapagsimula nang pangkabuhayan pero parang wala lang, hindi umaakyat sa mga ulo nila.
Artists are really geniuses at their own right. Musicians, sculptures, painters, sketchers, anything that they can produce with their own creativity and passion. They are created by God to produce something to inspire everyone. It's good if some make it big for something so institutional, but for some who are struggling but really good artists, I salute them for still enjoying their craft and for being very humble about it. Art is subjective anyways and not everything appeals to the majority. For most of them, they only make things out of artistic expression and joy. That's why I see artists true, passionate and brave. Not everyone ends well off, but they still do art and it's not work, most of them are truly happy with their time spent. Unlike some of us who tread the day not knowing why we do things.
Not every art is seen at the same spotlight and yet we get a breath of art every single day in weird circumstances and instances. While walking and spending time with new found friends, I received a Christmas gift from an artist named KILLAH. He is a painter who operates in a shop in Rizal. He is your typical t-shirt clad, long haired, true-blue artist who drinks, who likes to share stories and who is humble. While walking in the mall, he pulled out two hand painted stones in his old artist backpack and offered it to Mitch and I. And I only met him on that day. It was his simple Christmas gift that costs nothing, but the effort was unmistakable.
Syempre nahiya ako. Wala akong maibigay. Hindi ako artist. Kahit bigyan nyo ako ng raw materials, wala akong magagawa kundi basura. He was not asking for anything obviously, but he had time on his hands and huge jars of creativity to produce simple things from raw beginnings, which in turn he shared with us. Nakakatuwa. Eto yung mga regalong di matutumbasan ng pera. I don't know if I truly deserve to receive art out of nothing, but I'm honored. Nothing but more salutations and admiration from me.
