Specialist note

"My works are inspired by the folk narratives series that are very rich in colour, figure, motifs and patterns. Everything started from depicting everyday life with a tinge of commentary and humor. Then I just found myself branching out to folk beliefs. I find Philippine contemporary art so alive and full of potential."
