Life's too short to drink bad wine.

26 years old. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines. Grew up in Indonesia and Switzerland. Living in the UK now. Swiss. Pinay. Third Culture kid.

I like to paint on massive canvases. I enjoy pottering around in my garden, growing roses and vegetables. When I knit, I can’t do the English style, only Continental. My little finger is crooked. I like listening to Opera and am fond of Musicals. I’m stalking Rammstein to find out when they’re next gig is. I love museums. I enjoy fashion and luxuries. I love body art and have currently two tattoos. I want my own library or at least a room with nothing in it, but a comfy chair and walls full of books. I like wearing glasses. I enjoy a half a cup of tea with milk and sugar. I like my coffee black and sweet.

I started painting when I was three years old and since then have been studying and experimenting with various mediums. I started working on canvases when I was eight years old. Although I was very much self taught, I attended numerous classes. My summer holidays were spent under private tuitions and I still continue to refine my work here in Europe.

I have a wide range of sources of inspiration. From nudes to still life to scenic views. Although I have come to enjoy working the human anatomy a lot more. I have many favourite artists; Vincent Van Gogh, Francis Bacon, Gustav Klimt to name a few.

My artworks are included in private collections in the UK, USA, Switzerland and the Philippines.
