This is a work inspired by my true story of meeting a wonderful woman who opened my eyes to the people living in the slums. It happened, one late afternoon, during my college days, I was new in the area and went outside to buy things I needed for my boarding home. There are no other stores open at that time and nearby is in the slum area I am scared to go cause of the unpleasant things I heard happened especially to a stranger. But I needed it badly so, I braced myself and went on not knowing what to expect. I walked in and there is this woman maybe in her 50 looking at me with curiosity. And the more I got closer to her, the more I felt unsure about myself when finally greeted her I said, "Hello" and asked if there is a convenience store around, and then she said, "You will never find your way inside" hearing that I was ready to go back. The next thing happened was a revelation to me when she asked, "What do you need?" I said something for my home then suddenly kindly called out her daughter to buy the things for me and said, "Just wait here she won't take long." I was stunned and couldn't say the right words. I felt embarrassed because of the horrible things I thought about the people living there. The daughter came back with the things I need. On that day I received more than I needed. I was so grateful for their kindness. Truly felt meeting like "An Angel in the Slums". This work is an homage to the great people l met in my life whom I will always cherish and always be grateful for knowing them. The work part of my "Remembering Life" series. Stretched on a professional gallery-wrapped canvas. Painted edges show the painting process. Unframed. Ready to hang.

"Art is a discovery of who we are within and the greatest that we will be." Self-discovery is the one true purpose and joy in life, has always been the subject of Joejene's works. Discovering the beauty and wonder of the existence of life and nature fuels his creative process. His medium acrylic on canvas translates these artistic ideas into abstract paintings with his unique style and skills at rendering rich colors, textures, and depth. Born in the Philippines where he earned a degree in Fine Arts and practiced his artistic passion professionally, Joejene is now making his mark as an abstract artist in the Ottawa art scene. He has held numerous exhibitions in Ottawa and Toronto since moving to Canada with his family in 2006. His work is currently represented by the Orange Art Gallery in Ottawa and held in private collections in The Philippines, United States, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, and Canada. ARTIST'S STATEMENT: Painting intuitively and trusting my inner self in complete surrender are the core of my creative process. To me, knowing the beauty of who we are within is a liberating truth… it keeps me to be in constant awe of the world around us, to be one with all its creation, to soak in the moment, and to fully and truly live the gift of life. It is about allowing the process and the moment to happen, to take place and surrender yourself in your purest, most authentic self, without worry or fear... To just trust in your intuition until the process takes its own shape and reveals itself… and the result is like LIFE in visual form, in its truest physical presence.
