"Presensya" is my original painting from the series of folds-style work, which depicts women farmers.

A street scene in Cebu in which the barangay lies under the expansive Commercial Business District. The picture freezes a moment in which these untitled properties may disappear as commercialism could take over.

This piece was created with watercolor techniques onto a greyscale printed picture onto a watercolor art paper. This gives a unique detail of a high-resolution photograph and vibrant colors and individuality that only come from watercolor.

"Hungry Hamster" was drawn using assorted pastels on a Pastelmat paper.

The artwork depicts the phasing out of the traditional jeepney to be replaced by modern alternatives.

The mixed medium of watercolor artwork onto the photograph is framed with a deep black rim and dual borders (2") for maximum impact.

"Memasabi" is all about those spreading false information, and creating stories without knowing the two sides of the story. This also serves as a reminder that we should always be careful and be accountable for everything we say.

Mga luhang Ekinubli sa Pagbuhos ng ulan is my original work depicting circumstances and challenges of ones life. This Hyper Realism portraiture is really close to my heart it's because of the message that I put to create this masterpiece.

I created this piece during the entirety of my chemotherapy.

My take on "Nostalgia" is about realizing that everything we thought mattered doesn't have much merit in the face of an impending death, and in the end, the only thing left with us is our memories. 

This charcoal painting is done on arches 300 gsm hot-pressed watercolor paper. If I remember correctly, it took me seven months to finish this piece because I was having such a hard time with the side effects of chemo and adjusting how the painting would look (like the angle of the rose or the overall lighting) since I took a bunch of reference pictures and real-time details that I added to my piece.

This watercolor painting is of delicate crab apple blossoms, which best defines the feeling of spring awakening to me, hence the title. This is one of the flowers I dream of seeing in person.

"Karamsaw" shows young Filipinos taking part in the traditional way of eating: boodle fight. It represents joy and unity and the embrace of culture.

I don't believe in ghosts, but, oh boy, do I have a lot of them.

If we're not careful, our lives can be a parade of all the things that haunt us. I drew this as a reminder to live and learn to let go of things out of our control. 

Living with your "ghosts" is never easy, but as long as we dare to look them in the eye, shake our head, and smile, we will be okay.

As a follow-up to "Eyes Cream," "Eyes Cream II: Unrequited" is a pun-filled take on the crushing feeling of love not returned.

"Sagrada Familia" is my original artwork. It's about the Third Sunday of Advent.

"Behind Her Eyes" is a contemporary artwork depicting the hardship of every individual facing life's adversities.
