Ada Rose Abinales
Artist
Ada Rose Abinales, a Canadian artist, was born in Cebu City, Philippines in 1973. Having spent her childhood and formative years in the multicultural diversity available to her uniquely Asian and Hispanic cultural heritage, its subtle influences are distinctly reflected in her art. Her love for Art and artistic expression was honed and refined as she earned her Fine Arts Degree in the University of the Philippines and later on further advanced at St. Mary's University Calgary, with a degree in Bachelor of Education. A quick review of her works will show a distinct interplay of movement and layering of colors in different media such as watercolor, acrylic and oil. Her whimsical artwork reflects her jovial personality and zest for life. For Ada, painting is an experiential thing and music plays an important part when she paints her emotions as depicted in her strokes and myriad of colors. Her eclectic choice of classical and flamenco music, diverse heritage and from working with children from different backgrounds shaped her works thematically. She is currently a High School teacher at St. Martin De Porres High School, where she shares her passion and knowledge for the Arts. She has done children's mural work and children's book illustration. Her first exhibition "Kaleidoscope" was a culmination for earning her Fine Arts Degree in the early nineties. The Calgary Central Library features her works for the month of June 2024 and Mundus Imaginalis Solo Exhibition on January 2025.
