Creating art is a way to connect yourself and others. To create artworks without limits is beyond self-discovery and expression.

I love creating abstract, realism, surrealism art pieces. My artistic journey focuses on creating pieces that evoke nostalgia and tell meaningful stories. An important part of my process is creating a lot of sketches of concepts and using them to reflect my inner world. Exploring realism & surrealism allows me to understand life in different perspectives and continuously grow as both an artist and a lifelong learner.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration within myself, the people in my life, and the new connections I make along the way. As an emerging artist based in Toronto, it’s difficult not to feel inspired by the city’s creativity, diversity, and artistic community. I also look to a wide range of local artists for inspiration and motivation. Many of my personal experiences shape my work, especially traveling to different parts of the world. Visiting the Philippines truly inspires me and my artworks.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000, it would definitely benefit my artist lifestyle for the better (funding my art studio, art classes, and supplies) in Toronto. During my last visit in the Philippines, I noticed that art supplies are limited in the area where my family lives. This inspired the idea of providing a creative studio space that not only provides access to materials but also encourages people to pursue their artistic passions and creative dreams.
