    Hi i'm Chester Calayag . I'm a Filipino Artist .

    I'm lonely, sometimes too Happy, I


    am never alone but somehow can't find a place where i belong...Interested in making
    Art and making Love. Most of my paintings deals with everything and anything i see,
    my own Story and my interpretations about my own life and how i see this World.
    Doing a painting is another way to give life, music already did this, now its time
    for art to give a hand. My Style are Inspired in some Renaissance Paintings Fantasy
    Painting/Surreal Paintings and Many Modern arts. I'm interested in the works of
    Salvador Dali, Remedios Varo, Guztav Klimt, Beksinski, Wayne Barlowe , Esao Andrews
    Francis Bacon and some underrated artist like Stanley Donwood and some local artist
    friends. Some are Masters from our Past World, others are Still Living and still
    making history.Actually i don't care about styles, i care about learning the things
    i know i need to learn, and i learned a lot from them, not just in Art but in Life
    too. My Inspirations comes from anything like a powerful Love, wonderful Family,
    Events in the Streets, Smile from the sun, Scene in a movie, Lines in a Poem,
    Sadness, Failures, Trees soon to be Cutted, Kiss from a Mother Cat to its Kittens,
    a plastic bag floating in the hi-Way, A raindrops falling from the sky into the
    hair of a beautiful girl and then i realized that i've been staring at her for an
    hour, A vegetarian Friend, a toast from a Friends or just smoking a Pot while
    listening to my favorite songs. anything, anytime inspirations comes, Music really
    inspires me a lot, it always giving me inspiration and energy to start the day, to
    start working. anywhere i go. I like paintings with strong lightings and strong
    darkness, the contrast of that two thing and that is what im working on my
    painting. how Light exist in us, how hard to live in Darkness. Light is very
    important for me, maybe to all of us. but its really hard to find. Most of my works
    are in Oil on Canvas, but i also like using Acrylic Paints, pens, pencils. i'm
    still Exploring those mediums and still trying to get better and better. I hope i'm
    getting better : ) . Its my brother who taught me that Magic Exist, Cloaked as an
    Art in this New World. He is my Teacher not just in painting but in Art itself. He
    taught me how beautiful the world is even it was in its worst Spin. I got a lot of
    friends too who i consider as my brother and teachers. Being a Visual artist, i
    want people to feel something in my works, just looking at them, stare at them,
    feel them. No explanations just Feelings. I want to share anything that goes inside
    this head, i want them to know how i feel, how i am, who i am. a lot of things to
    say, words are powerful but sometimes it doesn't matter, it's not enough, and
    making art is the only way i know to make all this crazy things possible. I want
    them to have their privilege to look at my Paintings, analyze them, understand them
    as much as they can. And for me its a pleasure. I want to paint what i know is
    true, Truth from myself, Truths i knew, Truth that everybody should know, Truths
    that hard to Accept, Truths within Me, to see how i see, to understand how i Live.
    I listen to other people's advices about my work but it doesn't mean i'm doing it.
    Most of them are just ignored. As long as i know i'm doing the right way and it is
    what exactly what i want to paint and i see nothing is wrong, then I'll do it,
    paint it! Of Course! I'm selling My works if Someone wants it, because the sad
    things here in our world today is that Leaders decided that we have to Pay for
    Everything and Anything, when the whole world was given to ALL of us Free, this
    Beautiful Paradise. By embracing Art, i found Love. and it is the greatest thing
    that i've found along the way. Love is Everything, that's all we need. the Real
    Love. i believe that nothing is impossible. There's always a possibility in
    everything, we just have to find the way how to do it. There's always a way, a
    right way. and i'm happy i found mine. it was like a portal into something inner in
    ourselves. Here , you can see some of my works. and i hope it can give you
    inspirations even just a little or anything positively or anything that can help
    you on your way too. Just pick up the things that can help you, dont take
    everything that you can see, only those that you really need and those that can
    help you. and always be ready to give them up if time comes.Life is really hard for
    the living ones, but this Life is worth fighting for. Thank you! One LOVE!
