Painting has always been my deepest passion, a love that began in my youth. I started by entering school art competitions, where I often lose, but that never discouraged me. I embraced each loss as an opportunity to learn and grow—this was my way of evolving as an artist.

The challenges became greater when I entered college at UST, but my drive never wavered. I found myself competing against brilliant artists from other universities, such as Raffy Napay, Randalf Dilla, Ronald Jeresano, and Anton Mallari.

Though I didn’t win every competition, the victories I did achieve felt like milestones on a path of growth, each one a testament to my dedication and the journey that shaped me.

My passion for competing eventually paid off when I was honored with one of the most prestigious awards at UST

—not once, but twice.              

Benavides Outstanding Achievement Award (2009-2010)

I graduated with  "Best Thesis Award".

I began my career at Underground Logic, a post-production house specializing in TV commercials. I had always dreamed of seeing my work on television, and that dream came true, making the experience incredibly fulfilling. My goal was to learn and grow, so I embraced every opportunity to explore new skills. I took on roles as a matte painter, 3D artist, and concept artist. During my five years there, I was proud to be part of a team that won five Agency of the Year awards. It was an incredible journey, and I truly enjoyed every moment.
