My name is Tom Alvarado, the Filipino singing painter of UAE.
00:25
I landed 2008 here in UAE.
00:28
I worked in the decor company for six months.
00:30
After that, I resigned and decided to open my own company.
00:34
My goal also is to help some Filipino artists like me.
00:39
So I have to give them a challenge, how to decorate the house by ourselves as an artist.
00:46
I saw a lot of opportunities here, especially in art.
00:50
I got more challenge from the different cultures.
00:53
Locals are very supportive.
00:55
I like so much especially Filipino art, Filipino talents.
01:01
I created this masterpiece of Baba Sayyid as tribute, his leadership, vision, and values
01:08
to the people.
01:09
And because of my artworks, I was recognized by the rulers of Al Ain.
01:14
As an artist, you have to express, you have to express yourself into art, whatever it
01:19
is.
01:20
Art without feelings is not you.
01:23
Art is me.
01:24
Nobody can stop me because this is me, the art and the artist.
01:54
Bravo, Mabuhay ang Pilipino!
