Charmaine Marie De Chavez

In the vibrant city of Makati, Philippines, a creative soul named Charmaine Marie Olondriz De Chavez blossomed. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of San Mateo, Rizal, she found solace in the beauty of colors, shapes, and the art of movement. From a young age, her heart danced with joy as she immersed herself in the world of colors, guided by the loving presence of her mother who shared her passion for art.

 

 

Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, Charmaine embarked on a journey that led her to the realm of fitness, a path diverging from her childhood dream of becoming an Architect. Despite the detour, her artistic spirit continued to shine brightly, as evidenced by her numerous victories in Poster Making Contests during her elementary and high school years. With a versatile array of mediums at her disposal - acrylic, watercolor, oil pastels, charcoal, coffee, and pencils - she painted her dreams with every stroke.

 

 

Beyond the canvas, Charmaine's talents extended to the realm of music, where she found joy in singing, strumming the guitar and ukulele, and composing melodies that echoed the depths of her soul. The lens of her camera captured moments of beauty, adding another dimension to her artistic repertoire.

 

 

In the year 2020, Charmaine took her first steps into the world of group exhibits, only to have her aspirations halted by the unforeseen arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, her determination remained unwavering, eagerly awaiting the moment when she could once again showcase her creations in both virtual and physical exhibits, breathing life back into her artistic dreams.
