Last August 30, 2013, Iori Espiritu, a UST-CFAD graduate came to Beato to give a creative workshop to us, Advertising students. I was expecting to meet a snooty woman, with all her accomplishments, to come in The Beato Angelico Gallery. And gladly, that was not the case. I met a very cheery lady who eagerly said hi to everyone she could greet. Young yet very accomplished, it was inspiring to meet someone from CFAD who found a place for herself in the very competitive world of the arts.
With so much diversity in the industry, I recall Iori talking about how important it is to find your own style of illustration. And as I looked at her blogs where her works are posted, you would really be able to see her personality through her work. Through this, I have also learned that as artists, we shouldn't be afraid of chanelling our artistry through one medium, on art form. Iorie has also delved in the possibilities of sculptures.
Iori's visit to Beato surely made an impact on CFAD students who were part of this event. We've learned to find our own take on how we see the world and translate that as our voice in art form. We were given the opportunity to meet someone who was once in our position as CFAD students, and now we're more motivated to be the best at what we do and then someday, be part of an industry that inspires the world.
