Isang solo art exhibit ang isinagawa ng missionary visual artist na si Kristine Soguilon last October 7-10, 2025, sa The Groove, 7T General Malvar Street, Araneta, Cubao, Quezon City.
Kilala si Kristine sa art world bilang “Artist on a Mission.”
Isa rin siyang Philippine Navy Goodwill Ambassador.
Una na siyang nai-feature ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) last September 12, 2022.
Multi-awarded and globally renowned, ang mga obra ni Kristine ay kilala “for blurring the line between the personal and the prophetic.”
Sa kanyang journey, narating na niya ang iba’t ibang galleries sa buong mundo.
Gayunpaman, para kay Kristine, ang kanyang advocacy para sa mental health ang gusto niyang maging legacy.

KRISTINE SOGUILON’S ART EXHIBIT TO RAISE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
Ang art exhibit ni Kristine ay tinawag na This is Bethel, isa rin itong fund-raising acitivity para sa kanyang advocacy, which is mental health awareness.
Ang Bethel sa Hebrew ay nangangahulugang House of God.
Pagbabahagi ni Kristine sa press release na ipinadala sa PEP: “This exhibit is not just a show; it is a revelation.
“A revelation born not from the safety of the studio, but from the edge of despair; crafted during long hours in therapy rooms, psychiatric care, and hospital beds.”
Ipinaliwanag din niya ang mensahe ng kanyang art exhibit.
“Every letter, note, sketch, drawing, and painting displayed in This is Bethel is a Psalm, a groan, a prayer painted in the wilderness.
“It is the visual gospel of a woman who walked through fire and did not burn, who wandered in her own desert and found manna in the form of brushstrokes.”

KRISTINE SOGUILON’S SKETCHES WERE DONE IN MOMENTS OF SILENCE OR CHAOS
Isang yugto ng kanyang buhay ay ang pakikipaglaban niya sa mental health struggles.
Sa hospital room habang sumasailalim sa therapy sessions, gumagawa siya ng mga liham para sa sarili.
Hinahanap niya ang katahimikan sa pagitan ng bawat pag-iyak.
Pinagdaanan niya ang kalungkutan, ang sakit, hanggang finally ay matanggap niya ang healing—and grace.
Isinalin niyang lahat ng naging karanasan sa kanyang mga obra.
“Each piece in This is Bethel is both relic and resurrection.
“Viewers will encounter handwritten letters never meant to be seen, sketches done in moments of silence or chaos, and full-bodied paintings where color becomes scripture.
“This exhibit dares to unveil the holy in the broken, the sacred in suffering, the divine dialogue between illness and recovery.”

KRISTINE SOGUILON WANTS TO EXTEND HELP TO SOLDIERS STATIONED AT WPS
Ang proceeds ng art exhibit ni Kristine ay mapupunta sa Citizen’s Support Your Navy Foundation.
“To help sustain the mental health of the brave Filipinos stationed at the West Philippine Sea; men and women who stand at the edge of our nation’s waters, quietly fighting battles both seen and unseen.”
Aniya, ngayong binibigyan niya ng boses ang kanyang own silent battles sa pamamagitan ng art, ini-extend naman niya ang healing sa ating men and women in uniform, “who hold the line for freedom, often in silence.”
Panawagan niya: “Your attendance, your presence, and your purchase will directly support programs that nurture the mental well-being of our modern-day sentinels of the sea.”

KRISTINE SOGUILON’S OTHER ART EXHIBIT
Last October 11 ay 40th birthday ni Kristine.
Ini-launch naman niya ang Velvet and Vines art exhibit sa Wine Story, EDSA Shangri-La Plaza.
Sa kanyang unique art collection, binigyang kahulugan ni Kristine ang mga alak mula sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng mundo.
Sa canvas, isinalin niya sa textures ang flavors ng mga alak, at ang aromas ay binigyan ng kulay.
“From bold Cabernets to delicate Rieslings, each painting is a glass poured and translated into pigment—a celebration of artistry, diversity, and indulgence.
“What begins in Bethel as a lament transforms in Velvet and Wines into a toast to life.
“The full circle of healing—from tears to taste, from therapy to terroir.”
Ani Kristine, ang kanyang art exhibits ay isa ring pilgrimage.
“A call to walk with the wounded.
“A chance to bless those who serve in silence.
“A moment to recognize that even in our darkest nights, God is present—and perhaps—closer than ever.”
