The Savior


"In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified."
                                                                                 -Hermann Hesse-

May was a very depressing month for my family. My grandmother passed away due to stroke. Four days after her internment, my uncle had the same condition and eventually left us. I was so devastated of all the things happening to our family and I feel scared. My physical, emotional and mental being feels so exhausted but I have only one source that keeps me composed and moved on, my faith in Him. I know everything has a purpose. He also suffered a lot, from the people he loved most, but He is so loving and save the people who led Him to his death. My feelings was plain black. But darkness cannot be defined without a light and I found it in Him. I was so blessed He has given me this talent to express my feelings and emotions and share it to those people who are also going through difficult times. He saved me from these circumstances, He will also do the same for you, just keep the faith!

A Mother's Love



"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                  -Agatha Cristie-

This is my second version of Mother and Child. I made this when I was in my hometown for vacation. I was inpired to paint this subject because I was able go home and spend time with my loving mother and my dearest grandmother. Luckily one of my highschool batchmate likes the painting and bought it from me!

Abundance and Prosperity


"Painting of 8 koi fishes represents incoming Wealth arriving into your Home and Business."

Another artwork I made as a gift to a friend. I made this for their new business! According to Feng Shui, koi fishes are lucky symbol for wealth. Since we cannot afford to have a pond for koi fishes, I choose them as one of my painting subjects.

The Floating Sunflower



"And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood"  -William Cullen Brynt-

A painting for my sister. The exicetment and hapiness enveloped me when I went home to the province to see my family and stay with them for a couple of days. Working in Manila is very stressful so when I got home, I painted something that would relaxed my physical and emotional being. I was inspired with the blooming sunflower in Kawa Kawa and both me and my sister love sunflower so much so I painted something like this! The first sunflower I painted do not have stem on it as it represents the feeling of floating hapiness to be with my family and friends.

Si Nanay at Maria


The bond between mothers and their children is one defined by love. As a mother's prayer for her children are unending, so are the wisdom, grace and strength they provide to their children.    
                                                                                   -President George W. Bush-

This is a gift to my friend who loves her daughter so much. The kiss represents the connection of pure love of a mother and the sleeping child represents the feeling of comfort and safety from her mom. This painting is dedicated to all loving moms out there!
