Loida Nicolas Lewis aptly described Celso Pepito’s artistry as value-filled as well as modern. “It is distinctly Filipino that imparts values on hard work and family ties. Highly impressive.”
The Art Exhibit Cultural Confluence VI was graced by Consul General for New York Mario de Leon Jr., Miss Lewis, Miss Nena Kaufman, and Mr. Clint Ramos. It was the first event sponsored by OSM!, in partnership with the 5th Avenue Lions Club and the ArtPortal Cebu.

Thirty works of art by Cebu-based couple Celso and Fe Pepito are up on exhibit until October 5, 2012 at the Philippine Consulate in Manhattan.
The event was also supported by Xocai Healthy Chocolate.
Celso and Fe will also hold an art workshop on October 2 for interested art enthusiasts during the course of the exhibit, which opens at 9 am till 5 pm.
The sixth of the series of art exhibits, Cultural Confluence has been toured by Cebuano artists in Manila, Paris, Singapore, and New York. It provides art enthusiasts and collectors a glimpse of the life in Asia and the values it holds dear. For several years now, it has become a hub for artists like the Pepitos to forge unity and understanding among the culturally diverse roots of fellow artists.
