About Me
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and educator based in Manila, Philippines, dedicated to creating highly detailed works that blend contemporary photorealism, surrealism, and traditional media such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencils, charcoals, pastels and organic materials.
Rooted in self-developed training and years of experience, my art explores the spaces between realism and emotion, provoking thought and connection.
I advocate for sustainability in art, integrating natural and recycled materials into my practice. Beyond the studio, I am committed to nurturing aspiring and practicing artists of all ages, strengthening their creative voices across generations, encouraging them to innovate while honoring environmental responsibility.
Through each work and initiative, I aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for creativity, nature, and the human journey.
