Louise Varela-Marcelo is a visual artist and interior designer from Bacolod City whose work is rooted in Scripture and personal testimony, weaving together nature, mental and emotional struggles, and the redemptive hope found in Jesus Christ.

Her paintings explore the tension between human frailty and God’s sovereign design, revealing how the effects of the Fall surface in inner turmoil, emotional complexity, and the quiet battles people carry, yet still bear the intentional fingerprints of the Creator.

Formerly shaped by misconceptions about Christianity, she now uses art as a witness and a form of service, pointing viewers to the true Christ of the Bible through visual reflections that speak to believers, seekers, skeptics, and the weary.

Each piece becomes a testimony, an invitation to reflection, repentance, and rest in the One who restores the soul, anchors the overwhelmed, and remains sufficient and near in every human struggle.

UPDATE:
With deep sorrow, we share that our dear cousin, Manang Leizel, passed away this morning.
Our hearts are heavy. We were praying for healing, but the Lord, in His mercy, has brought her home.

We will continue this art fundraiser to help cover her medical and memorial expenses.
If you feel led to support, you may still do so through a painting purchase or by sending money.

Please note that Manang Leizel’s Security Bank account will be frozen soon, as part of standard procedure.

You may kindly send your support to my account instead, and we will ensure it reaches the family directly. Bank details are in the original post.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, prayed, and shared. Your kindness has brought comfort in this painful time.

We’re reaching out with heavy but hopeful hearts.
Our cousin, Manang Leizel, is now in the hospital due to heart failure caused by severe aortic stenosis - a condition that prevents the heart from pumping blood properly. The strain causes blood to flow back into her lungs, leading to pulmonary congestion and making her heart work beyond its limits.

Her sister, Dr. Rose Ann, has helped us understand the seriousness of her condition. Ongoing treatment and care are urgently needed.

Manang Leizel is more than just our cousin... she’s a quiet, kind, and generous presence in our family. She’s like a sister and close friend to us. We’ve shared many seasons with her, and we love her deeply.

This online fundraising art exhibit is one way we’re hoping to ease the weight of her medical needs.
If you feel led, we humbly invite you to support by purchasing a painting, praying with us, or simply sharing this effort with others.

If you wish to help but don’t need to purchase an artwork, you may also send directly to her GCash:

We’re trusting God through the kindness of those around us.

Sharing one of the featured works by Smari Básio —a beautiful piece with gentle textures and thoughtful strokes.
We’re so grateful for artists like Smari who’ve generously shared their work to help support Khen Sanlo

Praise God she’s recovering well! With your help, we’ve been able to cover part of her medication, and we hope to continue until she completes her therapy in two months.

Every painting you bring home becomes part of her healing story.
