This Is Your Brain On Art

Last May 9 at Pintô Art Museum and Arboretum, more than 160 individuals gathered for the official inauguration of the Philippine Institute for NeuroArts. The event was hosted by Dr. Nathan Pineda and started with moving performances from Billy Bonnevie and Agnes Arellano, followed by the unveiling of Mark Justiniani's sculpture, "Ang Debate." Dr. Norberto Lingling Uy (president and CEO of UERM Memorial Medical Center), Dr. Antonio Ramos (president of DLSU Health Sciences Institute) and National Artist BenCab gathered as Justiniani explained how his first bronze sculpture came to be. Performance artists Aze Ong and Sam Penaso then graced the stage and left the crowd in awe; works by plein air artists Dr. Brylle Catague, Dr. Kenver Resuello, Gejo Jimenez, Ton Ador, Dr. Janet De Grano, Sarah Liuson Ongsun, Happy Navarro and Cher Cabala Mendoza were unveiled, truly embodying the spirit of NeuroArts.

The newly announced Philippine Institute for NeuroArts promises to employ various art media in healing and recuperation therapies.
