Artist Statement
My round Artworks reflect the sentiment for I am totally engaged in it. The painting above is a portrait of a woman with an ill-stricken eye deciphering a mirror writing message of her master, Michelangelo. My other paintings, about my heritage, are profoundly narrative – customs & traditions are tellingly Filipino, hilarious, dramatic, and historical. My other paintings depict a subtle manifesto about events affecting my life. E.g. our agricultural lands worldwide are being exhausted, however pragmatic the reasons are. My “Sun, Land, City” painting series was based on this.
