Ariel Celestra

Born on October 20, 1963. Ariel Celestra is an artist from Pila-Pila, Binangonan, Rizal. He is the third child of eight siblings. His chosen medium for his pieces is oil. 

In the year 2009, he became one of the finalists at GSIS Annual Painting Competition with his “obra” entitled “TITIG” which shows his son. He believes that all of his dreams will come true and he has worked hard to reach all of his goals.  He believes that anyone is capable of becoming an artist,  but you can recognize a great artist by how their work makes others feel.

What he can say based on his experience is that there is no art which is “ugly”. All of our “obra”  are created beautifully and meaningful because it is the product of our mind and the skill of our hand that God has given to us.
