ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Work is part of my 'Moments Series". This work was inspired when I was discovering how to feel my way and my brushstrokes into the canvas. I tried applying texture as my underpainting by mixing gel medium with acrylic paint which allowed me to feel the rugged texture of the surface of my canvas as I applied the final paint on it. I felt my brushstrokes...the joy of painting. When I paint I feel good, a feeling like I'm doing something that I should be doing in my lifetime. It feels like I am home...peaceful, successful, happy and free. Work in a professional gallery-wrapped canvas. Unframed. Painted edges. Wired and ready to hang. Work will be shipped in a secured shipping box.

"Art is a discovery of who we are within and the greatest that we will be." Joejene: Unveiling Humanity’s Beauty through Abstract Art Embracing the belief that art serves as an introspective journey, Joejene perceives it as a conduit to unveil the inherent beauty of humanity. This conviction profoundly fuels his creative approach, which involves layering paint as a representation of his emotional state, cherished memories, and self-perception. Joejene’s works exhibit a nuanced balance, concealing less desirable aspects whilst highlighting elements that resonate with his personal evolution. Joejene’s artwork is known for its unique modern abstract style. It’s a blend of planned and spontaneous elements, inspired by his youthful rebellion against societal rules. A common story that symbolizes his artistry is how he would mess up his perfectly arranged hair, a counteraction to his mother’s careful grooming efforts. This rebellion is reflected in his art as he pushes against conventional beauty standards by including disorder. However, he skillfully balances this chaos in his work. His daily routine is organized to inspire his creativity. Each morning starts with quiet meditation and exercise, followed by a simple breakfast while appreciating the natural scenery from his home. Everyday tasks like cooking help keep him grounded, stopping him from being fully consumed by his innovative thoughts. The calming sounds of classical and meditative music accompany him during his art creation, helping him stay focused on the process. Joejene carries an enduring motto in his heart that fuels his creative fires even amidst potential distractions: “Keep on painting because it makes me feel alive.” This personal axiom constantly acts as a beacon, illuminating his path and guiding him toward his destiny. Joejene C. Santos is a Filipino artist who currently resides and practices in Ottawa, Canada. His work is currently represented by the Orange Art Gallery (Ottawa) and Le Salon Art Club (Montreal) and is held in private collections in The Philippines, the United States, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, and Canada. Artist Statement: My creative process is very intuitive, consciously engaging, and enjoying the moment of creation. When I work I love the idea that I do not worry about what is about, where is it going or how is it gonna be put together. I just wanna be in my present and feel alive.
