I am a second-year elementary education student here in Occidental Mindoro. I am someone who really loves exploring the topics of human emotion, feelings, state of being and mental health concerns as I am an advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. I really love connecting with people through my arts even if I'm quite introverted, I go full blast bubbly when I'm comfortable with those around me or even online. Im also an expressive person as seen in my works.

I am an artist whose works are usually made without smiling faces and happy vibes as I wanted those who see my works to know the usually unspoken, unheard and unseen things — feelings, emotions and mental health issues. This is not to show them that it is something to be feared but rather something to be given a little bit more attention and care. I wanted other people to be more aware that these concerns exist and it shouldn't be taken lightly, it should be given more attention and care. Lend a hand, a shoulder and an ear. Go, sit and listen to someone's problems in hopes that it's gonna help them ease their burden than go and sit at someone's wake while knowing you could've been there to at least lend an ear or a helping hand. These things became the usual inspiration of my works.
𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞?
My art style is an amalgamation of the styles I adapted from various artists I admire as well as something that gives it the "Galeon" vibe, an experimental mixed media approach that I am still working on to refine and further improve.

Yes. Even when Im a little kid, I've always seen arts as something that I wanted to do someday and I'm happy that I am able to do that now.
