How to appreciate the beauty of a woman

   First, close your eyes without any lust or sexual desire, then feel the softness of her body, her delicate hands, her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her thighs. Second, soak your soul in her mind, feel the vortex of her inner needs and desires, listen to the rhythmic sound of her joys and sorrows, and tiptoe on the matrix of her dreams and longings. As soon as you imagine and understand these nuances in a woman, you’ll immediately feel a strange sensation of warmth and nurturing presence, almost maternal, like a gentle breeze in the sea or the fragrance of flowers in the forest. You see, her beauty does not reside in her physical appearance—whoever she is and no matter how she looks—because she, the woman herself, is the definition, the embodiment, and the birthplace of beauty. (Danny Castillones Sillada, The Phenomenology of Beauty in a Woman)”

I hope you're having a good day, and the family's okay too

This is gonna sound selfish but plz can you make a web weaving on long distance?

Thank you so much!! Not selfish at all, I love doing these <3

When you love someone from a distance, so deep and profound that it hurts, you regretfully feel as if you’re going to lose her before you could hold her in your arms.

Occasionally, I would visit the graveyard in my heart, knowing that some people that were buried there are still alive. I could not help wondering: How many people buried me, too, in the graveyard of their hearts?

Danny Castillones Sillada, Those Sweet and Painful Memories, Inusara Journal

[thepoeticbook]

The graveyard is not the final resting place of our dear departed but an ephemeral repository of their remains.

The real graveyard, however, is somewhere deep in our heart, where we can always visit them at any time of the day, talk about some unforgettable summers, or cry in solitude as if they were always there for us to stay.

And should our twilight come, when we can no longer see the light of the day, some people dear to us will build a graveyard in their hearts. They will let us stay for a while or perhaps longer, as long as they continue to remember, but it does not matter anymore.

What is comforting to know, no matter how tragic or tranquil our death may be, somewhere somehow someone will always build a sublime place for us to stay.

“ Sometimes I wish I had not woken up from a beautiful dream, and continued dreaming within sleep upon sleep until I become a dream itself. Because sometimes waking up is more frightening than a nightmare. “                                 - Danny Castillones Sillada

TOUCH ME-PLEASE!

“The landscape of human emotion is ominously changing. The visceral sensation of loneliness and solitude is no longer as palpable and intellectually profound as it was a couple of decades ago because technology has already relieved us, as much as possible, from the burden of any emotional and existential isolation. The intense feeling of being nostalgic or being alone, for instance, is receding from the human emotion because we can now communicate with live video and send messages through any social media to a distant friend or loved one. 

Consequently, the exponential progress of technology is altering the phenomenological experience of human sensation, robbing us of our ability to get in touch with our humanity and reflect upon the triumphs and madness of our techno-society. Ironically, in our obstinate desire to humanize robots and Artificial Intelligence, our individual existence is, in turn, being digitized and robotized by our own technological inventions.”

Danny Castillones Sillada

Born: April 17, 1963

Age: 57 years old

Hometown: Cateel, Davao Oriental, Philippines

Know for: Paintings, Installation arts and Mix Media, Performance Art, Literary, Philosophy, Music, and Critical Theory

Notable Work: Menstrual Period In Political History (2005)

Movement: Surrealism and Existentsialism

Born in Mindanao, the southern part of the Philippines, on April 27, 1963, Sillada was identified in public primary school as a gifted child. At the age of seven he started drawing and earning from his artworks.

Upon his graduation in high school in 1982, he received an “Artist of the Year Award” in Maryknoll High School of Cateel, then founded by the American Maryknoll Missionaries, later ran by nuns the Religious of Virgin Mary (RVM) before it was turned over to the town’s parish.

Danny Castillones Sillada is a former columnist and cultural and art critic at the Manila Bulletin, one of the Philippines' daily journals.

He is a Filipino multidisciplinary artist, theorist, and journalist, is a surrealist painter, sculptor, and installation artist, author, bilingual poet, essayist, musician (singer-songwriter-composer), performance artist, photographer, and amateur filmmaker. He took a 180-degree detour from his priesthood vocation to accept his creative calling in the world of art.

He became a full-time artist and literary writer at the age of 33 in 1996, exploring various fields and mediums of aesthetics, from painting and sculpture to installation art, from music to performance art, from photography to short films and documentaries, from writing about philosophy to poetry.

He was a recipient of 2003 "Pasidungog Centennial Awards" for literary and visual arts,a centennial event that was attended by the president of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in his hometown province in Davao Oriental.

According to Danny Castillones Sillada, Surrealism in Philippine art is an individual style rather than as a movement compared to its development in Latin America, USA, and Europe. We have no historical surrealist movement in the country with cohesive manifesto that sprang from political or anarchic cause relative to its inception in the early 1920s by French poet and writer André Breton.

In 2003, during his 2003 one-man show titled "Surreality" at PAG (Philippine Art Gallery), Sillada invented what he called "Nail Art and Hydro-Kinetic Sculpture", One of the Philippines ' oldest Galleries. He incorporated his nail art and hydro-kinetic "Daloy" sculpture into a series of abstract paintings, sketches, and pieces of installation art. "Daloy" was mounted on a plywood of 96 X 46 inches pulled with nails in the shape of a cross and accentuated with a splattered red colour. A bamboo tube with an ever-flowing water cascading on an earthen jar sits at the bottom middle of the plywood. The murmuring sound of the flowing water gives the symbolic aspect of the "cross" a dramatic effect, a recurring theme in his works.

In 2006, in Art Center, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City, he exhibited another iconic piece, named "Fountain of Life." Similar to his 2003 "Daloy", it was mounted on thick plywood, but framed in white with a well-defined outline of embedded nails forming a circle. Instead of using a bamboo tube, he inserted a stainless faucet in the lower center of the artwork, which flows continuously into a transparent plastic container of red liquid.

Titled “Menstrual Period in Political History”, this controversial mixed media artwork by Philippine multimedia artist Danny C. Sillada in 2005, is a political satire on the Philippine government's cyclical political crisis and corruption. The vaginal shape is carved on a metamorphic rock and painted red, blue, and yellow to represent the flag of the Philippines.

He was recently included in Martin Dawber's book "New Vintage Illustration," which is comprised of some of the world's best illustrators due to be released by a London publisher in August 2012. Martin Dawber, author of several illustrated books on design, photography, and vintage drawings, is a fashion and clothing writer, lecturer, and consultant editor for Contemporary British Culture's Routledge Encyclopaedia.

To date, as a surrealist artist, Sillada has already released 14 one-man shows, both local and international, and performed his music, poetry, and live art performances at various venues in Metro Manila, Philippines.
