Passion from the Heart

My interest in baybayin took off when I got a copy of the book of Marius V. Diaz, "Aklat Sanayan ng Abakadang Rizaleo". While I have heard of baybayin before, this book showed me the possibilities of the ancient Filipino script. He presented several typography of baybayin (with his own modifications). It was beautiful.


Now I am adding  my own contribution to this growing interest in baybayin. I am painting images with the matching word in baybayin. The idea is to teach baybayin through this paintings. Hopefully, the viewer learns baybayin while savoring the visual feast before their eyes. As a tribute to this passion, I have painted a heart.
