“I was born in Pagsanjan Laguna, Philippines. I was known by my family members, fellow school classmates, and friends as someone who has a great passion and love for arts at a very young age. I had my very first painting contest at the age of 14, which made me decide to paint until now. As of today, I have been working predominantly in the medium of Oil, Acrylic, and Watercolor. I studied Fine Arts and majored in Advertising at the Far Eastern University in Manila, Philippines. I found freedom by expressing myself through my art and it’s all about my soul searching for a deeper meaning using art. Art for me is entertainment. To be able to touch the work, as well as to interact with the work is important.”
“I’m inspired to create art through painting because it gives a sense joy and satisfaction. It represents who I am by expressing my heart, mind, and soul. My style and approach to creating art are made through strict but passive touch which can be perceived as liberating constraints with inner values as ‘inspiration’ and ‘authenticity’.”
“I, as an artist, believe that art is made solely of passion, nothing more. Without passion, your art is simply a brush stroke. A good and well-painted piece of art must connect to the viewer who is confronted with the conditioning of his own perception and must become part of it.”
“The world is lively and colorful. Be inspired by what you see around you. Connect with it, feel it and touch the creative values your mind show you. Paint with your eyes close. Let your passion dictate the colors. Let the emotion guide your strokes.”
I was born in Pagsanjan, Laguna, the Philippines. My works are made predominantly in the medium of oil painting as well as acrylic and water color. I studied Fine Arts at the far Easter University in Manila in 1988. I had participated in solo exhibition shows in the ArtExpo New York 2016, exhibited my art pieces in Miami, Dallas, and Mexico City art galleries as well
I found freedom of expression through my artwork. Painting makes me feel free and it's all about my soul searching for the deeper meaning of creativity through arts. My artworks are representations of (seemingly) concrete ages and situations as well as depictions and ideas that can only be realized in painting..
The painting is alive with drama and movement, counteracted with a sense of peaceful restfulness. The visual movement seems to dance on the surface of the canvas, catching the light in their thickly applied brush strokes. The mosaic quality of the light seems to create a sense of movement throughout the painting. Imagination takes me to a new height with this piece of art that is inspiring. It takes me deeply to search my soul. The illustrative figure speaks beautifully that connects to viewer's eyes.

'Lost' was one of my latest work of art. It took me plenty of time to reflect on how I would want to show the emotion behind the art without showing the face. The image of a dog beside the boy looking helplessly helps me find a way to show they were really lost. I was inspired to show the suffering of the street children and my art can relate to that very well. I want the viewers to connect and get the message by thoroughly examining every detail of this art. The brush strokes, thick and impressionistic, are full of life and light showing, each brush stroke catching the light reflections around it and subtly changing color tone as you move around the canvas from different angles. This expressionist-style painting captures the feeling of being street outdoor and seeing the emotions in a person.

This painting was created with 11/2 inches deep canvas. I used Bold color to saturates this contemporary impressionism painting of a woman sitting in a file of garbage while reading a dirtied book she found while collecting trashes. The thickly applied brush strokes are alive with texture and motion. Field with bright yellowish colors that reflects the time each morning at which daylight first begins. It measures 47 inches wide and when viewed in person leaves most wide-eyed look.
Somehow it appears realistic though clearly breaching into the realm of expressionism. This noted contemporary impressionist has coined the term “open-impressionism” to describe my latest work.

Those rich and thick skinned flowers seem to look growing on the surface of the canvas, catching the light in their thick but sensitive applied brush strokes. The quality of the light seems to create a sense of quietness throughout the painting. I want to make it look real as much as possible. The details of each flower are kind of rich and real looking. Yet better-seen closer on its canvas.

Captivating moments between the boy who plays his flute to directly entertain a cat audience.

The inviting vibrant display of different skin color varies by the culture called Social Colorism. Many different cultures have historically evolved amongst us and some skin varies according to race that causes the skin color mixed. I used light but rich brush stroke for a clearer definition of the figures. Nakedness shows more of the skin tones thus giving emphasis of the main subject.

This oil painting is painted with loose but one directed brush painterly brush strokes, creating a sense of mosaic motion within the painting. The title "I am", was nothing less than a claim to full self. Obviously, I used the timeless 'I am' rather than any title name because this abstract portrait art piece conveyed not only the idea of existence to oneself timelessness and the very nature of I am as oneself.
Dramatic front light source plays a significant role to highlight the image's identity or gender. The portrait has a stunning significance to the face of 'Jesus' as we regularly seen. Rich yellows to orange and red color highlighted the boldness hues of the portrait's which captures thick impressionistic oils.

A beautiful place to be whether riding a boat or on a fishing expedition. Mostly located on a waterway with facilities for loading and unloading ships. The place is along a coast that gives ships and boats protection from storms and rough water. This Painting a beautiful representation of how sea Ports looks like in a day. Seeing along this wide cues of boats along the bay sides boat park was like traveling in a different ways and paths... I felt like I was surrounded by miles and miles of clear, fresh air, so relaxing I could sail through them all day long.
