Kalesa ti Vigan
KALESA (Acrylic on canvass 18' x 26')
A kalesa or calesa (sometimes called a caritela/karitela) is a horse drawn calash (carriage) used in Vigan. The word, also spelled calesa, predates the Spanish conquest and descends ultimately from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning "wheels." This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spaniards that only nobles and high-ranked officials could afford. The calesa driver is commonly called as “Cochero” or “Kutsero”.

Why buy Art?
Art is an excellent investment as it always appreciates in value. While it may be a good investment to purchase art works from masters or more established artists, most of them cost a fortune now. It would be better to invest in up-and-coming artists as they could potentially go up several times in value. An artwork worth a few thousands now could jump into the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in the future.
