ILAGAN, ISABELA ? As an artist, Lucky Salayong first dabbled in painting. But when he discovered he can create something out of junk, sculpture became his passion.

?Modernong Musikero? represents Lucky?s kind of art. Describing it as ?green? art, it is made from discarded items he bought from a junk shop ? including used printer cartridges, faucets tubes and colorful buttons.

Putting all these materials took him a month and a half to create a life-size (almost five feet tall) robot playing a violin. It is something colorful and innovative, to say the least.

Lucky says his art is inspired by his love for Mother Nature and passion for music. Merging a robot that represents modernization and classic music (thus, the violin), he says he wants to send a message that even though modernization has taken to place in music, classic music should still be valued.

?Gusto ko kasing buhayin muli yung mga lumang musika sa panibagong estilo ng mga makabagong musikero (I want to revive classic music through modern artists.),? he says.

But instead of choosing more conventional materials like clay, rocks, wood or brass, he opts for junk materials for his sculptures. He says it?s his way of helping preserve the beauty of nature by helping recycle garbage.

The works of Lucky Salayong (as well as by other local artists) will be on display at the Alay Sining 5, a one-day exhibit by the Rotary Club of Makati West (RCWM) on November 19 (Monday) at the Mandarin Oriental in Makati City.

Art works will be on sale and proceeds will go to various outreach projects. For interested parties, you may email Lucky Salayong at [email?protected]
