About Me
ᜀᜃᜓ
Anninag
I am an autodidact, multidisciplinary artist and educator, dedicated to creating highly detailed works that bridge photorealism, and traditional media - including oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencils, charcoal, pastels, and organic materials.
As a Filipina, raised Ilongga-Masbateña artist, my works evoke emotion, memory, and the quiet strength of women. My art honors my roots and lived experiences while reflecting my journey onto the global stage - serving as the light that reveals rather than blinds, guiding others towards the beauty found in truth, resilience and transformation.
Rooted in self-developed training and years of artistic practice, I explore the delicate space between realism and emotion, seeking to provoke reflection, memory and connection through each piece I create.
Being an advocate of sustainability in art, I integrate natural and recycled materials into my creative process, merging environmental mindfulness with expressive storytelling. Beyond the studio, I am committed to mentoring aspiring and practcing artists of all ages, helping them nurture their creative voices while honoring the responsibilty to innovate with care for the earth.
After years of creating under a name tied to my lineage, I now step fully into the identity I have chosen for myself - Anninag.
