Chiz Escudero gifts wife Heart Evangelista with a beautiful oil painting of her
The birthday celebrations are not yet over for Heart Evangelista.
As she welcomes her 38th year, the Kapuso actress, visual artist, and ultimate fashionista received another thoughtful gift from her husband, Chiz Escudero.
It was an oil portrait of Heart wearing a beautiful gown, painted by Ivan Roxas.
In her caption, Heart shared that she met Ivan when she was 13 and “had a few art lessons with him as he was a family friend[.]”
Heart added, “Many moons ago he took my photo and told me he will finally paint me[. Knowing] how busy he was I never bothered to ask[. Over] a decade later it finally came into fruition ... I can still smell the oil[.]”
Heart said it was “another awesome gift” from Chiz, and also thanked Ivan.
Aside from the painting, Chiz gave Heart a sculpture by one of Heart's favorite artists, Ferdinand Cacnio.
Before her special day, Heart had dinners with GMA executives, Chiz, and her loved ones.
