Yelcast is a contemporary artist from Batangas who takes abstraction to a new level with his novel way of reinterpreting words, poems, lyrics or quotes called VISUAL POETRY. He utilize text as an art element and he integrates poetry into his art. He weave words within his oeuvres to make a life statement and draw out positive emotions.

He founded the VisualPoetry Philippines and this year Independence day  he organized the 1st Yelcast VisualPoetry National Art Compeition (Online) with a theme Kalayaan Mula Sa Epidemya.

For me,as a VisualPoetry Artist, I share the RESPONSIBILITY of showing POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE and the BEAUTY OF LIFE.Visual Poetry arts should always be designed to INSPIRE PEOPLE, to DREAM and to LOVE.

Visual poetry is a poetry with visual element. Yelcast uses authentic and unique calligraphic style of lettering. He play colors and shapes to weave words within his oeuvres which blend with the beauty and positive message of his works.

Yelcast visual poetry is much more interactive than conventional  poetry because there is more left to imagination and even more up for interpretation.
