"useless science or the alchemist''

oil on canvas
40x30in
2009

In this painting, the artist criticizes that most of man’s knowledge is destructive to his environment and relatively harms his own kind. He stresses that conceited men who think of themselves wise and infallible are often the most potent catalysts of havoc. According to the artist, it is stated in the Scriptures that true men of wisdom are those who admit the fact that they are nothing compared to the wisdom of the Almighty.

Ang!... Ang!.. D ko ma explain. It's like a can opener for mind changing. Dis is art talaga. As far as I know the owl is a symbol of knowledge that resembles the almighty while the monkey pictures out men who thinks highly of themselves. High enough that they are making tyranny among other people that creates destruction. Destruction that causes death that can portray by a crow. The difference between the background and the foreground is also relevant that's why the elements truly popped out in the scene. And the use of depth to hide the unnecessary parts of the painting really works well. Kagaya n lng dun sa lower body part nung human owl Haha!? Un ung tingin ko

Pero d ko sure kng tumugma ba dun sa gs2 nio ipakita. Haha d nmn ako pro kaya ignore mo n lng haha
