A local artist from San Jose City used his own blood to paint images of President Rodrigo Duterte on a white canvas.
Elito “Amang Pintor” Circa’s says he firmly believes that by using his blood, his art is able to signify and mirror his life.
“I asked a nurse to extract my blood and place it in test tubes so I could use it to paint,” Circa told ABS-CBN News.
His creation features a montage of Duterte’s familiar poses, along with the official seal of the office of the president and a Philippine eagle.
Circa said that he chose Duterte because of his outstanding performance as president.
“Bilib talaga ako sa kanya (Duterte). Minsan negatibo siyang magsalita pero parang kaibigan lang ‘yan na naiintindihan mo kahit iba pa ang pananalita niya… Marami na siyang nagawa [I really admire him. Though he sometimes speaks negatively, he’s just like a friend who you can understand even when he speaks rough. He has already done a lot],” Circa said.
This blood painter also created similar paintings of Senator Manny Pacquiao, and members of his family.
His masterpieces are priceless, according to him. He doesn’t intend to sell them.
