OLD WORLD & PHILIPPINE MAP CEILING PAINITNG

These paintings were commissioned by a client for his office/private lounge in Pasig City, Philippines, in 2009-2011. We used mixed media with oil paint to complete the rustic/ vintage look of the overall painting. I had a team that helped me complete the painting but I did most of the details and composition.

Details and names of countries are copied from an Old World map

I literally have to be on the domes to paint the small details and letterings of all the continents and countries

Close up on the color details

Yup, those were the brushes used to do this massive artwork.

Painting was done on several panels and domes to complete the whole artwork

REPLICATING VAN GOGH'S "THE OLIVE TREES"

This painting was one of my plates in History of Arts back in 2005 when I was in college. The activity was to replicate a famous painting to understand the different styles of famous artists/painters. Vincent Van Gogh is an icon for post-impressionism paintings.

SELF-PORTRAIT FOR MOMA ART COURSE

I did this self-portrait using watercolor & colored pencils for an activity for a Museum of Modern Arts, NYC - Modern Arts and Design course I took in 2020. The image depicts that people view me differently from my real personality. In the painting the subject, which is me, have a different reflection in the mirror.

I used this photo of myself for reference
