Belmont Hotel Manila unveils 4th ‘Hiraya’ exhibit
Belmont Hotel Manila has launched its fourth Hiraya exhibit, featuring sculptures and abstract works by contemporary Filipino artist Marlon Luceñara. The exhibit, titled Hiraya: Ang Hugis ng Imahinasyon ni Marlon Luceñara, will run until Nov. 20.
Luceñara, hailing from Sagay City in Negros Occidental, shared his journey from humble beginnings, recalling how he started creating art with just 200 pesos and materials from a junk shop.
Despite financial struggles, he credited perseverance, hard work, and faith for his success. Today, he is recognized in the art community, having won awards such as Kinetic Sculpture of the Year and the Sining Award 2023.
The exhibit’s opening day saw the attendance of media and loyal guests. Belmont Hotel Manila’s Director of Operations, Mayann Malapote, and Cluster General Manager, Socrates Alvaro, welcomed the attendees. The event also featured a selection of Filipino cuisine with a creative twist.
As part of the hotel’s ongoing effort to promote Filipino culture, the Hiraya series provides a platform for local artists. Visitors can view and purchase Luceñara’s works until the exhibit concludes in November.
