I was born and raised in the Philippines, but I followed my lifelong passion for painting and moved to Italy - a country that continues to captivate me with its beauty. In 2015, I decided to pursue a rigorous training in classical painting techniques having been inspired by the great art I saw all around me. I am committed to keeping the traditions of painting alive and passing them on to the next generation.

I paint from life - both in the studio and plein air. I use only the highest quality traditional materials and techniques destined to last for centuries. I truly hope that my paintings bring you happiness - and inspire the creative spirit in you.

This is the “slow food” approach to painting - a total commitment to tradition and quality.
