Ang Tatlong Hari
Ang kwento ay hango mula sa kasaysayan na nailimbag sa Matthew 2:1-16 ng Bibliya.
Ang ilustrasyon ay gawa ni Violeta M. Gloria na nagigiliw sa acrylic at oil sa pagpipinta bagama’t hindi niya ito isinapubliko. Nagagalak din siyang lumilinang sa artistiko gamit ang generative medium ng makabagong teknolohiya.
Si Gloria ay nahuhubog sa pag-aaral ng Pilosopiya at Batas; isang mananaliksik at manunulat.
Nakasanayan na rin niyang basahin ang sikolohiya at non-fiction na mga libro upang pahalagahan ang humanidades at sining, tradisyonal man o makabago. Sa kanyang kabataan, nabasa niya ang isang makapal na Bibliya hango sa lingwaheng Bisaya na may mga ilustrasyon din.
Ang ilustrasyon na ito ay ginawa bago matapos ang taong 2023. Maaring ma-download ang kwento dito.

Rizal: a historical memoir
As social media was abuzz with diverse discourses about a multi-awarded movie, "Gomburza" -- a story about the lives and struggles of three priests who were executed by Spaniard authorities in 1872 -- I was reminded about Jose Rizal, one of the Philippine's national heroes, whose novel El Filibusterismo (1891) was written and inspired by the lives of these three historical religious persons unjustly killed because of irrelevant political mongerings.
Tomorrow, December 30, is likewise the commemoration of the lives and works of Rizal and the anniversary of his death too, when he was executed in 1896 in Bagumbayan, presently known as the Rizal Park in Manila.
A quick refresh to recoil the time of his life with his translated poem Mi Ultimo Adios can be downloaded here with my new illustration to keep the hero's memory abreast with the information technology's aesthetic advancement and to bring the youth's interest back into history using generative arts.
