“Based on color psychology, red is associated with love, heat, courage, and passion. It has a range of symbolic meanings; that's why the painting can mean anything depending on how the viewer feels. The title "Dantay" means impulse.”

Jeca is a self-taught artist and engineer who started her journey into the arts when she was young but did not pursue a degree in fine arts due to financial constraints. Regardless, she did not stop her passion for the arts and tried different mediums. Currently, on big artworks, she is working with acrylic. Most of her abstract works are inspired by the psychology of colors and the association of beautiful Filipino words to describe them.
