CLARK MATTHIEU BALDOVINO
The artist, Clark Matthieu Baldovino is a 14-year old Grade 9 student who hails from California, USA although born in the Philippines. He started painting only a year ago when his parents enrolled him in an art school during the summer break as a recreational activity to divert his attention and re-focus his energy on more productive endeavors as he has diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)at an early age. He initially dabbled in oil paintings, where he soon showed some skill in mixing colors to imbue his works with a certain degree of realism that is remarkable considering his young age, lack of experience, and expertise. His parents are committed to providing Clark with more opportunities and avenues to further develop his artistic skills, which can hopefully help improve his medical condition.

LOLITA d. FELICIANO
In the tapestry of life, I, at 80, thought I had woven my final chapter. Three children now soaring in their own skies of success and a lifetime of memories held me in their warm embrace. Then, amidst the quiet solitude of the pandemic, I found myself adrift in the stillness. The echoes of my past seemed distant, and the world ahead felt empty.
Then, a whisper of vibrant energy beckoned me. With trembling hands and an open heart, I picked up the brush. The vibrant colors spilled onto the canvas, mirroring my long-forgotten vitality. Each brushstroke became a lifeline, each shade a symphony of emotions. With every artwork, I found my soul dancing with previously unimagined hues. Art became my bridge between a seemingly faded past and a bright, colorful present.
As you view my paintings, you see heartbeats, memories, and a testament to the human spirit finding beauty and meaning, regardless of age or circumstance. When everything else seems to be fading, art is a reminder that it's never too late to find new meaning, to find oneself in the twilight years of your life.

Maria Gracia Africa-Lazo
Grace Lazo's life journey is a fusion of purpose, creativity, and courage that resonates deeply with those who encounter her story. Initially finding her stride in the realm of pharmaceutical marketing, Grace's compass later guided her toward the mission of De La Salle Philippines, where she channeled her energy into making a meaningful impact. However, it was in her artistic endeavors that Grace truly painted a portrait of resilience.
Her artistic odyssey ignited during a childhood summer camp in Lipa City, Batangas, revealing the first brushstrokes of her creative inclination. This spark reignited when she confronted a formidable adversary—cancer. In the face of adversity, Grace turned to art, embarking on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and self-expression. Armed with determination, she embraced watercolors, mastering techniques through online resources. With each stroke, Grace's paintings became a testament to her unwavering spirit and her ability to find beauty in life's intricate details.
In her final chapter, Grace embarked on a new chapter of artistic exploration, diving into the realm of acrylic painting under the guidance of skilled mentors. Her courage to venture beyond her comfort zone mirrored her broader outlook on life, one of continuous growth and resilience. Grace's artistic legacy stands as a vibrant tapestry woven from threads of passion, purpose, and an unyielding commitment to turning life's challenges into opportunities for creative expression.
