Aline Delfino-Bautista with National Artist Napoleon Abueva
Posing for National Artist for Sculpture Napoleon Abueva in the event, “The Breast-feeding Madonna and Child –An Afternoon with the Masters” (August 2005)
It was a very rare opportunity to witness the masters of the Philippine Art in action all together.
Sitting as motionless as I could while breast feeding my son, I watched the masters of the Philippine art walk by us all the models — like window shopping seemingly looking for something.
A man stopped in front of me, set up his station and in a few minutes, his hands started working.
I didn’t realize then that this man is Napoleon Abueva, National Artist for Sculpture and known as the Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture.
