About Me
I am a Fine Art student currently studying at the University of Mindanao. I make paintings and also do mixed-media artwork. Most of my works explore the concept of landscape painting, Nature Drawing in a thoughtful way. Ever since I was in my Highschool years, I have been fascinated by paintings that directly respond to the surrounding environment of people and animals. I use people's experiences to make and manipulate a painting and then predict that they are in a beautiful natural landscape. I also try to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way. I like to involve the viewer emotionally and believe in the idea of function following form in work. Art is entertainment: to be able to touch the work, as well as to interact with work, is important.
My works are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are essential. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are continually significant. By creating situations and breaking the spectator's passivity, I try to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape, or content of my works are secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intentions of presenting. By emphasizing aesthetics, I investigate the dynamics of landscape painting, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us.

Artworks
Impasto Sunflower
This Painting is done on a 15x15-inch canvas using acrylic paint in an impasto approach. The sunflower subject in this still-life artwork was inspired by Van Gogh's Sunflower painting also. Sunflower symbolizes gratitude and happiness which is why I featured this subject because it gives people a positive outcome in life.
