“Experience the Power of Fine Art!
Be Wiser, Be Braver, and Live Happier—You’ve Got This!
Welcome to Spoliarium, where we believe in the power of fine art to inspire positivity and enhance your daily life.
I’m Herica Honcolada, Founder and CEO of Spoliarium. While my background in Mass Communications, multiple international certifications, and over a decade of experience in project management, finance, and consulting shaped my career, it was through personal experiences—travelling the world, losing my mother, and reflecting on my next steps—that I discovered a deeper truth: well-being and personal transformation are the true keys to success.
In 2019, I helped a talented painter and friend sell his work, which sparked the idea for Spoliarium. What started as a small project soon grew into a platform that empowers artists and brings their work to a larger audience. Our mission is simple: to help artists thrive while enhancing happiness and well-being, especially for students, professionals, and leaders.
At Spoliarium, we connect you with real art and real artists, offering both inspiration and support on your journey to a happier, more fulfilled life. Ready to experience the power of fine art? Let’s talk (here’s my private room link) or join our waitlist and have a real human connection.
Remember: You are wiser, braver, and happier today and tomorrow than you can imagine!
-Herica CH, Founder-CEO
Vision, Mission & Core Values
“Spoliarium” is a Latin word that refers to the basement of the Roman Colosseum, where fallen and dying gladiators were dumped. It is also the title of a historical painting by Juan Luna, which has become a Philippine national symbol. Luna created the painting to inspire his fellow Filipinos during the Spanish regime, which lasted for 333 years.
In 1884, he submitted it to the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where it won the first gold medal. Spoliarium is the largest painting in the Philippines, measuring 13.8 feet by 25.18 feet.
If you visit the National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila, you’ll be greeted by this breathtaking masterpiece. It’s a testament to Philippine history and the indomitable spirit of its people.
Interestingly, today Spoliarium is also the name of a global service and tech solutions provider for fine art.

***We’re here to help you achieve that with the power of art. (Research by Oxford University’s Saïd Business School showed that happy workers are 13% more productive!)
We didn’t think of starting a company at first.
Our journey began with a need—a need to give a hand to a talented artist who needs help in selling his magnificent art pieces.
We started Spoliarium in 2019 as a small project—a way to support a talented family friend who was struggling to sell his amazing art pieces. We soon realized that he was not alone in his challenges, and that many artists needed help to showcase their work and reach more customers. We organized our first exhibit, which was a success, and we sold paintings both locally and internationally.
Spoliarium is more than just a business for us. It is a passion project that connects us with the beauty and power of art. Art is a form of self-expression that reveals the artist’s personality, perspective and emotions. Art also enriches our lives by making us happier and more productive. Studies have shown that art stimulates our brains and enhances our well-being.
We believe that everyone should experience the benefits of fine art, and that artists deserve to be rewarded for their creativity and skill.
Our vision is to help painters achieve greater profits and enhance the happiness and overall wellness of people, especially the global workforce and executive leaders, through fine art.
Whether you are interested in buying, selling, co-owning or supporting fine art, we invite you to join us on our mission and discover the wonders of Spoliarium.
