A TRIBUTE TO OFFY: DANNY SILLADA'S ART, POETRY & MUSIC

Perhaps, the most romantic tribute that a husband could give to the first death anniversary of his beloved wife is through art, poetry and music.

Mr. Paulito Garcia, one of the co-founders of Ricco-Renzo Galleries & Café, thought of no one who could deliver such homage with ardor and passion, but in the person of a multi-talented Filipino artist Danny C. Sillada.

On February 19, 2008 at exactly 6:30 p.m. marks the first death anniversary of a renowned Lady, a Filipino art patron Ms. Offy Flores-Garcia, who inspired many Filipino artists, both the emerging and established ones.

One of these inspired artists, then young and struggling who had been snob by art galleries in Metro Manila at that time, was given a chance by the late Ms. Offy Garcia to exhibit at her gallery, is now an internationally known Filipino artist named Danny C. Sillada. His works have been collected as far as UK, France, Middle East, USA and some Asian countries.

As a Man of God, Sillada studied priesthood at the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, Manila, and San Carlos Seminary, Makati, but left his vocation shortly before his ordination to the Sacrament of Holy Orders to become a full-time painter.

Sillada's colorful and lively paintings, heart-warming love poems, and sultry ethnic music will rouse Ms. Offy's lovely memory on February 19, 2008, (Tuesday), 6:30 p.m., at Ricco-Renzo Galleries & Café, LRI Design Plaza, N. Garcia St. (formerly Reposo), Makati City, Philippines.
