Pampanga’s vibrant visual artworks are being showcased every month via “Art in the Yard” at SM City Telabastagan – and this month highlights the works of Ana Algabre Hernandez aka as “pinANAri”, dubbed “Magical: Season of Joy.”
SM City Telabastagan aims to bring people and the different facets of Pampanga’s rich culture – paintings, sculptures, printmaking, photography – together, by showcasing the works of different Kapampangan masters, modernists, and millennials on a monthly basis.
The mall is campaigning “Art in the Yard” with new featured artists every month to preserve and promote Kapampangan artistry. The event seeks to showcase the talent of emerging local artists and groups and provide them a venue for exposure without curtailing creative exploration and expression.
Local artists featured for the year are Manuelito Madrid in June, Jhune Lobo in July, Guhit Pinas Pampanga in August and Alvin Dungca in September.
Born and raised in Pampanga in 1965, Ana, a multi-talented artist— poet, painter, book author and art competition winner – grew up with her father, a prolific sculptor and watercolorist, where she fostered her passion for art at a young age. Promoting Filipino story at home and abroad, her artworks have been exhibited in South Korea and Turkey and some have been donated to libraries, multicultural houses, and museums. Having done seven solo shows, pinANAri participated in several group exhibitions such as in Angeles Museum and ASEAN Summit Exhibit 2017. With her works, she hopes to promote Kapampangan artistry, keeping the art of painting alive for all generations.
With Ana’s philosophy of “Let art into your life and your life be your art”, her artworks are fruits of her grit, love, aspirations, life experiences and reflections.
