Lotus Leaves Photograph

I was born and raised in Imus, Cavite, Philippines. I have considered myself as a multimedia artist. I do traditional and experimental art. Aside from that, I also write, take pictures and I now work as Shrine Curator under the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.My family discovered my inclination to the arts when I was barely 6 years old and since then I have never ceased to explore the arts. Simon Saulog, a Filipino master painter of the Madonnas from my hometown who died in oblivion, has remained my foremost source of inspiration. He was a close friend and a mentor to me. I am also amazed at the genius of Monet, Manet, and Cezanne. Since I experiment a lot, I discovered the versatility of digital art. Now, my current passion is to do photo manipulation and render a retro pop look on my images thus creating a touch of Andy Warhol. Foliage, people, and landscapes are my favorite subjects.
