Similar to his “Daloy” in 2003, it was mounted on thick plywood, albeit framed and neatly painted in white with a well-defined shape of embedded nails forming a cross. In 2006, he exhibited another iconic piece titled “Fountain of Life" in Art Center, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. The murmuring sound of the flowing water provides a dramatic effect to the symbolic element of the “cross,” a recurring theme in his works. At the lower center of the plywood is a bamboo tube with an ever-flowing water cascading on an earthen jar. “Daloy” was mounted on 96 X 46 inches plywood pullulated with nails in the form of the cross and accentuated with splattered red paint. He integrated his nail art and hydro-kinetic sculpture “Daloy“ in a suite of surreal paintings, drawings and installation art pieces.
In 2003, Sillada pioneered in what he called “Nail Art and Hydro-Kinetic Sculpture” during his 2003 one-man show titled “Surreality” at PAG (Philippine Art Gallery), one of the oldest galleries in the Philippines.
He is a former columnist and art and cultural critic in Manila Bulletin, one of the leading daily papers in the Philippines.
He took a 180-degree detour from his vocation to the priesthood to embrace his artistic calling in the art world.Ī Filipino multidisciplinary artist, thinker, and writer, Danny Castillones Sillada is a surrealist painter, sculptor and installation artist, philosopher, bilingual poet, essayist, musician (singer-songwriter-composer), performance artist, photographer, and an amateur indie filmmaker.
