Pay It Forward With Art
Conceptualized and developed by art enthusiasts from Ateneo BSME Class of 1995, ARTxFAME is an online art gallery established to help raise funds for Ateneo scholars. 100% of the profits from ARTxFAME will be donated to the FAME scholarship fund.
FAME, short for the Federation of Ateneo Management Engineers, is the alumni organization of the Management Engineering program of Ateneo de Manila University.
The Management Engineering program is 51 years old this year and recognized as one of the most successful and prestigious academic programs in the Philippines. ARTxFAME was launched on November 28, 2020 during the first ever Global Virtual M.E. Homecoming attended by over 360 alumni worldwide.
Camille Ver (b. 1980) is one of the foremost contemporary abstractionists in the Philippines. In recent years, Ver’s oeuvre has been primarily concerned with architectural abstraction. Aggressively abstracting the lines and forms of cityscapes, Ver bucks the common usage of minimalism in abstraction, preferring large swaths of brushstrokes and experimentations in color in her practice.
Ver took up painting at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts in 1998. She later took a special course in Interior Design at the Philippine Institute of Interior Design, which undoubtedly laid the foundation of her future interest in abstracting the built environment. Her influences include Russian abstract art pioneer Wassily Kandinsky, as well as members of New York School of Abstract Expressionism, such as Willem de Kooning, Helen Franenthaler, Franz Klein, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko and Cy Twombly; and the minimalists Frank Stella, Lucio Fontana and Agnes Martin. Her first influences, however, came from the 19th century European expressionists — Van Gogh and Gauguin among them — who instilled in her a sense of color and dynamism at a very young age.
