Among the important art pieces going on the block at Salcedo Auctions this Saturday, 23 July is an oil-on-canvas piece by artist Norma Belleza, who is known for her detailed work featuring women and vendors in the folk genre. Belleza’s vibrant depiction of a market scene is filled with an inimitable rustic charm through its thick application of oils. The imposing presence of the various elements in this composition is eye-catching, especially with its lively palette. The work is estimated at P130,000–P140,000.
