I am an autodidact, multidisciplinary artist and educator from the Philippines, dedicated to creating detailed works that bridge photorealism, surrealism, and traditional media such as oil, watercolor, charcoal pencils, acrylic and organic art materials.
As a Filipina, raised Ilongga-Masbateña, my art evokes emotion, memory, and the quiet strength of women, honoring my roots while reflecting my journey onto the global stage. Rooted in self-developed training, I explore the space between realism and emotion, provoking reflection and connection. Advocating sustainability in art, I integrate natural and recycled materials into my process, merging mindfulness with storytelling.
Beyond the studio, I mentor artists of all ages, inspiring creative growth with responsibility to the earth. After years of creating under my lineage, I now embrace my chosen identity—Anninag.
