Through her romantically sensible and highly feminine works, artist-writer Marivic Rufino has impressed mightily in her recent exhibit, exuding a visionary feel as well as decorative. Her eye for detail and passion for color, spill off her canvases and onto her latest creations. Mav says that her works are products of divine inspiration.\u00a0 And true enough, her latest show, \u201cRomanza II, Dreamscapes 2012\u201d is a testimony to the spiritual and calming images evident in her works. Held recently at The Gallery of The Peninsula Manila, \u201dNational Artist\u201d Arturo Luz said: \u201cThis is \u201cMav\u2019s best exhibit.\u201d \u00a0The paintings in Dreamscapes were painted from memory of her travels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

This 17th<\/sup> solo exhibition presents a diverse range of mixed media works, including her original 20 paintings which were featured at the Museo Nacional de Antroplogia in Madrid.\u00a0 Spanish Ambassador Jorge Domecq\u2019s wife, Rosa Rufino de Domecq, who was the Guest of Honor in the Madrid show, flew into town to grace the occasion, together with Ambassador Domecq, Alejandro Padilla Zobel and Maribel Guevarra.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alluring landscapes, depicted by Mav in a sumptuous palette of pastel colors were inviting to the viewers. Still, there was a new element of surprise.\u00a0\u00a0 Whimsical pieces done in collage, soft art and practical visuals, such as a 6-ft horse tapestry scroll, delicate screen dividers, parasol, one-of-a-kind satin bags, clocks, throw pillows. painting on a sofa, lamp, glass table and furniture. Proceeds of the exhibit were earmarked for the St. Mary\u2019s House in Tagaytay and Serra\u2019s Center in Pasay.\u00a0 Both are run by the Oblate of Sisters of the Most Holy Redeemer.\u00a0 Mav\u2019s advocacy is to help abused girls, and as such, she has been supporting this admirable cause through her art. <\/strong><\/p>\n
