It was 1965 and I was 17 years old when my father, Rev. Ignacio P. Bautista , a Methodist minister , encouraged me to join an International Art Competition where submitted artworks were to be exhibited at the New York World’s Fair . Sixty world entries were submitted and visitors at the fair casually voted for the artwork they wished to win. I almost reached the ceiling of our house jumping for joy, when I received a registered “airmail” letter from World Lit-Lit & Christian Literature, United Methodist Church, that I had won the art competition.
Maraming Salamat Tatay At Nanay Isang Liham Na Mapapatulo Ang Luha Mo Para Sa Iyong Mga Magiting Na Magulang />
Not too long since the announcement, I received a check and some boxes containing Christmas cards of my artwork, “The Event” . I was never the same since then, and had carried on the same passion, with a few interruptions, to paint up to the present time. Below is a bit of text I submitted to suggest or guide the viewer as to what I had in mind when I worked on this award winning piece.
Maraming Salamat At Paalam, Aking Ama! Hanggang Sa Muli Nating Pagkikita...
Designed by God to usher into the world the Kingdom of Heaven. The faint outline of the world, cross, and Bible suggest that the translation of THE EVENT into human experience has not proceeded far enough. But modern man need not accept defeat! The three Wise Men and their modern counterparts are still persistently pointing to the Star of Bethlehem as the one sure hope of peace, ” says artist Glenn Bautista , of Manila.
