“Based on color psychology, blue is associated with nature because of the color of the sky and the ocean. It evokes a feeling of calmness. But sometimes, it can also reflect the feeling of being distant or cold. "Kalinaw" means serenity.”

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.
