“Aura of Green” In spiritual and energetic practices, a green aura is often seen as a powerful symbol of growth, healing, balance, and love. It represents renewal—both physical and emotional—and reflects a soul deeply connected to nature and compassion. This color radiates peace, resilience, and a nurturing spirit. In this work, the aura of green serves as a visual metaphor for transformation and inner harmony, embodying the energy of rebirth, personal evolution, and the quiet strength found in moments of healing.

Drawing has fascinated me since I was a kid. Growing up in the raw and vibrant neighborhoods of Metro Manila deeply influenced my artistic perspective and became a constant source of inspiration in my work. In 2008, while studying Fine Arts, I met two of my crew-mates who introduced me to the world of graffiti and street art. That moment marked the beginning of my journey into the streets — a canvas where I could fully express myself. After graduating in 2011, I pursued a career in both art and tattooing. I participated in various street art events and exhibitions around Manila, developing a style rooted in pop art, lowbrow, DIY culture, realism, graffiti, and tattoo aesthetics. As a freelance, Dubai-based artist, I’ve been fortunate to take part in major art initiatives — including contributing to the Longest Graffiti Scroll, recognized by the Guinness World Records, and painting at the annual Street Nights event in Dubai. In 2019, I was honored to represent at the Worldwide Meeting of Styles graffiti festival in Copenhagen. My passion for art has taken me around the world — I’ve had the chance to travel and paint in 26 different countries, sharing my vision and connecting with global street art communities.
