Cocoy Laurel's three paintings of Nora Aunor?

Image
 Just like yours truly, Filipino actor, recording artist and painter Mr. Victor "Cocoy" Laurel who sadly passed away June 14, 2025 have also been inspired to paint Nora Aunor as his muse. How many times did he painted Nora Aunor?  I am intrigued coz I am a fan of other painters work especially if it is Nora Aunor as muse in a painting. As far as I am aware, Cocoy Laurel might have painted Nora Aunor three times since 1970 till his passing in 2025? As for me, I have three series of paintings with Nora Aunor as muse, one of which is titled  Filipinism, La Aunor, Woman (clcik here for some info)  This series have been exhibited in London and also have been featured in several video interview. TV5 featured this series in their online page after Nora Aunor's passing  Click here to see my Nora Aunor as painting muse as featured by news5.   Some of the paintings in this series have recently been a finalist in two art competition respectively,  Clcik here for ...

NORA AUNOR - Cocoy Laurel's "Mona Lisa"?

Image
 Did Cocoy Laurel painted Nora Aunor to rival Mona Lisa in 1970? As far as I know, Cocoy Laurel have painted a Nora Aunor portrait about three times.  Click here for info of the three paintings with Nora Aunor as muse by Cocoy Laurel. Look at the photo above of Nora Aunor portrait painted by Cocoy Laurel in 1970??? This image above is a photo I took from the Nora Aunor and Cocoy Laurel movie "Lollipops and Roses" which was shown on cinemas in 1971. Where is the original of this painting? Some report says that it used to hang on the wall of Nora Aunor's house in 1971. Himayin natin ang Cocoy Laurel 1970 portrait of Nora Aunor. To begin with, I think the image is enigmatic. The subject is the muse Nora Aunor who is Cocoy Laurel's soul mate and love interest perhaps in reel and real life? The painting was used as an admiration creation by a painter in the character of Cocoy Laurel as 'Victor' in the movie which as it turned out the admiration of the painter on th...
