About the Artwork

Ignorance is bliss, simple yet complicated in a way. One which, by choice, is a form of happiness by not knowing the unknown and instead finding comfort. Another would be the complication of needing more knowledge to create updated knowledge.

A particular goodness of ignorance lets you be happy without worrying about our chaotic world. It's more of a coping mechanism or more of what we do when everything is noisy.

Using sharp black contrasts on white, meticulous shading, and a focused subject with minimal distractions evokes a contemplative and serious mood about the subject's condition and societal perceptions.

Customer Reviews

Rafael Torrejon
Quezon City, Philippines

Rafael has 3 artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.

Rafael, who recently graduated from the University of Santo Tomas, is an artist excited to learn new things. He has always wanted to share his art so people would see them.

His art depicts emotions in various kinds of representation. Some would be in simple representations that directly speak to the audience. Other times, his art engages the audience to question and think about the piece.

Although he creates pieces when needed, he has consistently created artworks within a specific timeframe. He usually uses pen, ink, and acrylic paint because he prefers the intensity of black and white drawings, and they push the narrative further.
