Sinclair Launches Annual National Art Competition: Celebrating Filipino Creativity with Makaw Decorative Lime Plaster

Share

Decorative lime plaster is more than just a wall finish—it’s a timeless expression of style. It transforms plain walls into works of art, offering textures that feel alive, organic, and effortlessly elegant. Whether you prefer rustic charm or sleek sophistication, lime plaster creates interiors that breathe warmth and character.

This is where Makaw Decorative Lime Plaster & Effect Paints shine. Blending natural beauty with artistic freedom, Makaw empowers you to create finishes that are as bold, subtle, or unique as your imagination. With Makaw, every wall becomes your canvas.

That same spirit of artistry comes alive in the Sinclair Annual National Art Competition—a platform for visionaries to showcase the limitless possibilities of creative expression. In collaboration with the Unified Artists Society, this year’s competition highlights two exciting categories

Canvas Obra (Representational Art)

A celebration of freestyle expression, this category invites artists to discover how Makaw Lime Plaster can go beyond paint—becoming a true instrument of art. From layered textures to organic finishes, Makaw opens the door to works that are alive with depth and individuality.

Wall Obra (Ficem Board)

Perfect for architects and interior designers, this category demonstrates how Makaw finishes can transform spaces. Whether subtle or dramatic, these designs elevate interiors, creating warmth, character, and an atmosphere that inspires.

The Sinclair Annual National Art Competition is now open to all Filipino artists ages 18 and above! The competition runs from August 1 to November 30, 2025.
