Pinapakita ko dito ang damdamin ng isang musikero or gitarista, lalo na sa harap ng inuman.

Color harmonies with textures on a grid

This abstract piece was inspired by Mondrian. I experimented with the color schemes and textures while creating this artwork.

The artwork presents a captivating, surreal scene centered around a single, expressive eye. This piece invites contemplation and multiple interpretations, leaving room for the viewer's subjective experience.

There is balance in this painting.

A geometric painting inspired by the quotes of Peter Pan and Pablo Picasso:

“Second star to the right and straight on ’til morning," according to Peter, is the right direction going to Neverland.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."  According to Picasso, every child is a natural artist. It means we must not lose that connection to our inner childhood to be creative.

The piece captures the fluid grace of koi fish gliding through crystalline waters. Their vibrant colors create a mesmerizing pattern, symbolizing harmony and perpetual motion.

The delicate interplay of light and shadow adds depth, evoking a sense of tranquility and timeless beauty.

"The Night Dwellers" stay low during daylight and emerge by dusk. They seem to be searching for something, always moving with great stealth and secrecy. Whether they are good or evil, no one can tell.

"The Language of Music" is an evocative impressionist painting that captures the essence of music's emotional power. The artist has used vibrant, swirling brushstrokes to convey the fluidity and energy of sound. The composition is a symphony of color, with shades of blue, yellow, and red dancing across the canvas, evoking the rise and fall of melodies and the crescendo of harmonies.

Hardworking farmers sow in the midday or even under the heat of the sun for us to have food to eat on our table.

A burst of purple

A sample inkwork of the artist's love for detail and composition. In this case, filling the surface of the skull with a seemingly fizzy texture, which also partly resembles human figures in some areas.

An African proverb teaches us the wind does not break a tree that bends.

Most seasons of my life this year have included drastic changes and being forced to get out of my shell. I've been forcefully cracked open and discovered my many layers, my fears, passions, and the guilt I carry for who I could've been. Some nights, I felt like the world couldn't get any heavier to carry, but then the morning came, and I found new strength to continue.

This painting preaches about doing your best all the time.

It's like seeing the ocean from a bird's eye view.

This painting reminds me of the complexity of being human. We are primitive, colorful, and deep. We're also empty and, at times, bursting out with ideas or emotions.

"Truth Seeker" was inspired by every person's desire to know the truth; that million-dollar question we always find ourselves contemplating in almost every situation for the entirety of our lives: "What is the truth?" or better yet, "What is the 'truth,' really?" Even if there is no guarantee whether or not we will find it in the first place, we remain hopeful and persistent because we believe that it is the only way we can truly heal from within and begin anew.

Sometimes, that spark of light within us is pushed and hidden in the shadow.

The painting’s dark background depicts the dark sides and times. Meanwhile, a nude figure, emphasized by its glow and color contrast to the background, represents the empowered and vulnerable version of us.  The lotus flower, on the other hand, signifies hope amid adversity.

"Subtle Mayhem" invites you to explore the delicate dance between chaos and calm.

This textured abstract painting, rendered in soft pastel hues, features a network of squiggles and lines that evoke a sense of controlled energy.

This is a 2-piece painting.

"Summer," 2025

The palette in her accessories and makeup isn't merely cosmetic; it's a language of self-expression, reflecting her individuality while maintaining a connection to one's cultural roots.

This original concept is the second "Sisa" I've made; I intend to make bigger versions of this in the future. 

Acrylic on canvas with plywood backing

Seeing the sky, the trees, and the water, and how it flows between the rocks. How exquisite to have seen what's up there by looking into the water.

It's the best of both worlds. 

This is a fun painting for an adventurous person like me who loves to hike.

 This heavily textured painting, rendered in loose brushstrokes, depicts a green, invidious dragon. The emerald hues and rough impasto technique evoke a sense of jealousy, a natural human emotion the artist readily acknowledges.

The dragon's form, though imposing, is ultimately contained within the frame, suggesting an acceptance of this complex emotion.

Unlike the traditional banana plant, the Abyssinian banana is grown primarily for ornamentation rather than for its fruit. Even with green leaves, the red center vein is its beauty mark.

"Vanilla Dune," series 2, in neutral and muted colors

Ethnic designs are evident in this piece.

This magnificent furry companion, a being of kindness, gentleness, and love, enchanted my entire universe. However, one must never underestimate her, for she possesses an unparalleled power that surpasses any other creature known to humanity.

Tala, a little furry creature, won me over with her intense gaze, yet I could sense her gentle soul. Memories of my childhood pet flooded back to me as I cared for him from infancy until his untimely departure. I share a distinct bond with Tala, reminiscent of my beloved feline companion from long ago. Through my cubist art, I was able to convey this connection authentically.

Try to reflect on how you are approaching life. 

Are you trying to win? Or are you trying to escape?

"Butterfly Bloom," 2025

Waves are tall like mountains.

Here's another depiction of my "Katutubo" series that will give colors to that blank space of your home. I painted this portrait to give tribute to the indigenous people of the Philippines, who symbolize us as Filipinos.

(The artwork is on display at JT's Manukan Grille, 32nd Ave., BGC, Taguig City, from Aug. 23 to Oct. 15, 2023.)
