The Journey of Creation: From Earth to Art
My journey reflects the ever-evolving connection between art and life. From a quiet childhood surrounded by my family’s meticulous crafts to a vibrant adulthood shaped by the bustling streets of Hong Kong and the quiet communities of the Philippines, my journey has been rich with influences from diverse cultures and artistic traditions.
My artistic journey spans continents and seas, from the Sulu Sea to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, as I find inspiration in the works of mid-century ceramicists like Valentine Schlegel and sculptors such as Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and JB Blunk.
But it is the land itself that calls me to create.
Through tactile work with natural materials – earth, wood, textiles – I discover a humble yet powerful connection to the world. The clay I shape speaks to me, guides my hands and shapes my art. The beauty of ceramics lies in its imperfection; the material cracks, dries and surprises me, creating pieces that are always different from what I had imagined. It is this unpredictability that makes MY work so fascinating: it connects art to the ordinary, transforming the everyday into something beautiful and palpable.
In my art, I find freedom, letting MY desires blossom through the connection between nature, creativity and the artistic process. This journey, from the clay in MY hands to the works of renowned artists, has led me to find my true place in the creative world, offering timeless elegance and grace in the form of ceramics.
