I have evidently got into my art phase this year. I am now the proud owner of two paintings from award-winning Bicolano artist Pancho Piano which I purchased from Nami Art Gallery.

I previously wrote about how art gallery accounts would keep popping up in my social media feed, and one of those accounts was Nami Art Gallery. A few of their featured paintings caught my attention: they were from the Birds of Paradise series of Bicolano artist Pancho Piano.

I've been thinking about those paintings since I saw them in 2024. So much so that recently, I visited Nami Art Gallery along Katipunan to see them up close and personal. This Birds of Paradise series includes several pieces and I found myself gravitating towards one of the blue ones. I said that I would think about it first.
Shortly after that visit, a post from Nami Art Gallery appeared in my social media feed saying that all paintings under P50,000 would have a 15% discount. That was a good deal and i thought it would be the perfect time for me to get the Pancho Piano piece I really wanted.
I asked the gallery consultant if the blue painting I liked was still available and he said it was. I also asked him about another Pancho Piano painting that I saw on their website that had the same size and was somewhat similar in style but was from a different collection (the Earth series). He said that one was also still available. I asked him if I could see all the 12" x 12" Pancho Piano pieces again so I could make my final choice.

In the end, I decided to get two pieces: the blue one from the Birds of Paradise series which I had seen the first time and the last remaining painting from his Earth series. The frames of both pieces were scratched up so Nami Art Gallery said they would have the frames replaced. I now have both of my Pancho Piano paintings hanging at home. And just like my Manuel Baldemor pieces, they fill me with joy every time I see them.

While collecting art is not cheap, I have no regrets. The paintings have really brightened up my home and looking at them always improves my mood. Furthermore, knowing that I now own paintings that brilliant artists created makes me feel like I own invaluable treasures.
