My Story

I am a fine arts artist based in Zurich, Switzerland, who grew up in the Philippines.

 

My work portrays many scenes found in nature, mainly using oil on stretched canvas, though I often explore other mediums and creative outlets. My mother maintained a beautiful and lush tropical garden in the Philippines near our home by the sea, which set a lasting foundation for my creativity and appreciation for nature. I believe that nature, although sometimes harsh or stormy, is generous, colourful and the only thing that remains perfect. We are only here for a brief moment, witnessing its wonder. My art is a tribute to that wonder and an on-going study for growth, as well as a reminder to ourselves that we must always protect it, even though we might not always be around it.

​

Painting has become a form of meditation for me, in which I can spend hours getting lost in the depths of the jungle or the sea. The ability of nature to create calm and contentment is well known and I aim for my creations to harness this healing power; quietening the mind and creating a sense of safety.
