I am a self-taught abstract expressionism painter based in Seattle. My visceral creations portray utopian and dystopian landscapes wrought with intense emotions and psychological solitude.The appeal is universal but the connection is contemplative and highly personal. My art evokes feelings and experiences of a surreal world in the artist's mind.
Growing up as a child in the Philippines my technique consisted primarily of using watercolor and oil. Over the years my works are intuitive and emotive expressions of acrylic on canvas. Making art for Me is not therapeutic but rather a series of intense moments.
"It's like I am walking through a creative tunnel of exploding colors and ideas waiting to come to life through a brush stroke."
My passion for acrylic painting took off in the midst of COVID19 and at the heart of BLM protests in Capitol Hill in Seattle. “Nightfall”, my first commissioned piece was created in 2020 as cries of "Justice for George Floyd" echoed and a tear gas smell filled the area where I live. Several months later, the same client that commissioned the work gifted me back "Nightfall" "He told me that my soul seems to be trapped in that painting and it's befitting for me to have it back. I created another commissioned piece for him that evokes a more peaceful setting."
Firmly holding on to Leonardo Da Vinci's famous quote; "Art is never finished, only abandoned.", I fuel my passion with equal fervor for travel and exploration of hiking trails leading to grand vistas and waterscapes. My never ending quest of finding beauty in everything and everywhere go hand in hand with my mission to represent beauty that moves the heart, mind and soul.
