Image
      What began as a labor of love in a home kitchen has blossomed into a thriving success story for Cley’s Food Products, thanks to the transformative power of TikTok Shop. Founded by Mia Velasco-Reyes, Cley’s journey began as a small home-based business with a single product: a crab paste recipe, crafted during the early months of her child Cley’s life.

Streamlined , The Art of National Artist ARTURO LUZ , By CID REYES

Image
  Paul Klee, a Swiss artist, describes his fantasy works as 'taking a line for a walk'. It is a fundamental definition of drawing, which is the art of representing a figure or object by tracing its shape. Color, in contrast to this linear boundary of form, produces hues of varying lightness and saturation via pigments. After a midday meal during the Japanese occupation, 17-year-old Arturo Rogerio Luz began drawing a portrait of his mother Rosario without provocation. Luz continued to draw until his death. Drawing is the foundation of his art, representing linear strength and elegance. The multitude of lines moves intricately, capturing in their tight web the astonishing variety of his comparatively limited visual themes: cyclists, acrobats, musicians, performers, ancient pottery, and Asian architecture. The origins of all these lean and attenuated figures can be traced back to a sight he witnessed during a New Year's Eve celebration in the early 1950s. He noticed three ...
