"Capture Ephemeral Nature through Painting"

Dr Abe V Rotor

 

Remnants of termites mounted on apocalyptic background painted 

in acrylic by the author.  On display at Living with Nature Center,

San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

High rise in ruins cower

to time, pest and weather,

their grandeur gone forever.

Will man ever remember?

Cave entrance reminiscent of Tabon Cave in Palawan, 

relief painting in acrylic by AV Rotor. 

Stalactite on the guard, 

stained by a fiery past;

home of man long before

he became an outcast.

Profile of a human face on our Milky Way galaxy, 

acrylic painting by AV Rotor.  

Images of human abound,

in living colors and sound;

 serendipity or providence,

captured as evidence.

Trees make a community of their own,

they talk, sing, embrace each another;

designed by nature after they're sown,

living in unity and harmony together.

It's a world of the minutiae,

thru the microscope we see,

 but a shade of its entirety, 

much less its diversity.

 Living with Nature Center

It's counterpart of the sacred Cross;

let's save Mother Nature at all cost.

 

The Last Deer, wood carving against a dying waterfall 

mural by AV Rotor, Living with Nature Center

"Two symbols on the wall,

neither the fairest of all."

Edge of land and sea, detail of a wall mural by AV Rotor.

Living with Nature Center, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

"It's a reflection of a scenery,

      opposite of a sweet memory." ~
