About "Stars of Hope"

by Michael Albaño / Batang Pinangga

About the artwork

In Stars of Hope, Michael Albano captures an intimate and moving scene from his childhood on the streets. The painting shows a street child carefully and diligently crafting a star - a handmade parol, the traditional Filipino Christmas star. For many street children in Cebu, this is not just a decoration, but a chance to earn a little money by selling them around the Santo Niño church.

Michael manages to capture the atmosphere of perseverance and hope with warm, vibrant colours. The child's hands work meticulously on the star, while in the background the soft glow of candlelight creates a sense of security. The child's eyes radiate both focus and a quiet wish: the hope that this star will produce a meal, a day without hunger.

In the Philippines, the parol symbolises light in darkness and hope for a better future. This painting reminds us how resilient children can be, even in the most difficult circumstances. Stars of Hope is not only a representation of the past, but also a tribute to the strength and creativity of street children who continue to dream in spite of everything.
