Bamboo bike to create livelihood for Aetas
March 3, 2011
.
ANGELES CITY — A visual artist said that his new creations — bamboo bikes — would provide livelihood opportunity to the Aeta communities in Porac town.
“Buying bamboo bike is creating livelihood for the Aetas,” said Hermie Pineda, a visual artist-sculptor and painter.
Pineda’s organic bike, which he calls Malakas Maganda, is 80 percent bamboo. He launched the bamboo bike at the SM City Clark after receiving the Global Pinoy award last February 28.
Aetas harvest the bamboo and Pineda teaches them how to mold the bamboo into bike frames, former Angeles City Councilor Louie Reyes, convenor of the Green Youth Brigade, said.
“We would like to promote bamboo bikes in Pampanga. There are many bicycle enthusiasts out there. It is just a matter of time. Soon, exhibit shows will feature bamboo bikes,” Reyes said.
A deviant artist, Pineda’s art is characterized by mix media with philosophical themes and concepts.
His peculiar style managed to bag awards like the 1995 National Art Competition, 1st Prize in the 1996 Diwa ng Sining Awards Terra Cotta Sculptures, among others.
Some of Pineda’s commissioned works could be viewed in public at the Municipality of Porac and Environment department.
Pineda believes that an artist should influence society in color, space, texture, form and value in order to make life more meaningful. (Reynaldo G. Navales)
