“I constantly morph in my approach in painting, from pointilism to a hybrid presentation. I usually deal with issues of home and freedom. My memories of my province of Bohol gives me momentum. They are rendered in my own visual idiom to express my desire for change. About my freedom paintings, I use the symbolism of wings but still maintain my own style used in other issues.”

“We have been longing for freedom, especially when torn between opening the economy and implementing lockdowns. This is telling us that we are living in a world where the whole creation is groaning until the sons of God are revealed, according to the Bible.”
