A selft-taught artist from manila, he was guided and mentored by one of the upcoming artists, Mark Salamat of Hagonoy Bulacan. Born on September 12, 1979, married and a father of one child. He's a National University graduate with a BS Computer Engineering and works as graphic artist for almost a decade.
At a very young age, he already had a passion for painting. Over the years, he set aside his love for art and graduated a Computer Engineering degree. He became a salesman a printer and a graphic designer artist after college. On 2014 hi father wanted to change the painting on the wall og his room that he painted when he was young. However, his father's sensitivity to paint fumes hindered him from doing so, because his father is already ill that time. And on 2015 his father passed away, after a few months and missing his father so much, it seems his father whisper on his ear saying "please don't change the painting on my wall".
He then called his friend Marc Salamat and asked him to teach him to paint. His passion for art came back and his dream of becoming an artist came true and from there, he continued to paint and inspire.
