Skyscapes is the one I love the most to do, because I find peace when I’m looking at the sky that’s why I want to share the beauty of God’s Creation in a canvas. For my Portraits and figure subjects, these image for me is the image of humanity, of God’s genuine creation. It calls for the truth, it is what it is even before we received the breath of God. Our structure, is our life pattern. It is the image of God that makes us whole. A sanctuary, a vessel for goodness, for everything that is good in this earth. Thus it should be admired, appreciated in every way. And I show my appreciation through art. Showing what is to be provoked so that others will understand my insight for humanity. That humanity is for the Lord, and that the Lord is with us since the beginning.

Still life subject is good for my practice and makes me more keen in details. If you’ll notice, in every artwork, there’s this highlight/s. Mine, would be my balloons. Balloons signify my gratefulness for the Lord, for the talent he bestowed upon me. Every balloon has its own meaning and purpose, red color has its own specific emotion into it and every sky it flies up to has its own message. It started with an apparition, God who’s holding my hand as we freely walk without a target destination. I couldn’t see His face clearly because He’s all covered with light, light that warms my heart, this apparition didn’t just happened once, but twice. Before I’d thought that I’ll be entering priesthood, but instead my feet brought me to the field of art. But I knew that those apparitions envelop a message for my humanity, for my purpose, and that is for me to discover.

Each of my artworks is like an offering to God which is my top inspiration to do such things. God gave me this talent which I’m deeply thankful to him because without him, I am nothing. I’m inspired how God created a beautiful masterpiece which is our world. Also , I get my inspirations too with my family and love ones. They are always supported with what I’m doing since then.
