As a child, I had been doodling, drawing, and sketching ever since I can remember.

I used to make comic strips and painted on illustration boards using poster paints. Slowly, I dabbled in watercolor and oil pastel.

Now I’m using mostly acrylic in creating my art. I’m also using various or mixed media in some of my artworks, which add meaning and depth to my creations.

I am basically self-taught, aside from a two-day art workshop I attended many, many years ago — which bored me to death. My art style tends to be a blend of realism and expressionism, but I am also able to create in a variety of styles, appealing to diverse artistic tastes and aesthetics. 

I believe art should tell stories and evoke emotions. My colors are vivid, vibrant and compelling as the stories they tell.
