In celebration of the Art’s Month of the Philippines, Artist on a Mission, Kristine Lim, opens her Art Installation at Baluartillo de San Francisco Javier, Fort Santiago, Intramuros Manila.
The Art Installation was entitled “Portraits of Christ”.
“Portraits of Christ taps on the controversy in history and theology that no one truly knows the real face of Jesus. The face that we recognize to be our Lord’s is, in fact, far from what He could have looked like. The different interpretations of the face of Christ have been dependent on the culture, taste, and era of the artist that envisioned and forged it. It has also heavily relied on the income that the churches can get based on the responses to the religious visuals that people were presented with,” Kristine Lim shared.
According to her, how Christ should be perceived should not be dictated by institutions, but by looking inward and outward, seeing Him in us and in others.
“If we are to read and understand the Bible truly, the best way to see the face of Christ is to see our worth and the worth of others,” she added.
The installation started with a dedication ceremony by Pastor Monique Lopez — Ong (Head Pastor of Revelation City Church and Host of ABS-CBN’s Real Talk). Present with Kristine Lim to formally open the said exhibit are Atty. Guiller B. Asido (Administrator, Intramuros Administration), Mayor Victoria Lao Lim of Gasan Marinduque, Engr. Dimas S. Soguilon (Former USEC of DPWH), Susanne DS Tiausas (Managing Director of Art Lounge Manila), and Anjila Lim (Kristine’s Singaporean Partner and Friend who’s currently the Managing Director of AOR Global).
Portraits of Christ was curated by Ian Belleza and presented by the Department of Tourism, It’s More Fun In the Philippines, Intramuros Administration and Art Lounge Manila.
