Soil Searching Art Journey
-Since 2016 to Present-
soil painting materials
Greenish Lagonoy, 2021
Up close: some of my Earth Pigments Collection
Studio, my sacred space
The earth is amazing! There are seen and unseen creatures present on it which I highly respect.
Our natural world is diverse and the possibilities are unimaginable.
One of my favorite things on earth is the soil. This humble material under our feet looks the same but when you look at it closely, it has different colors, characteristics, composition and textures which I find really interesting.
I started this personal project last 2016. Since then, my collection and paintings grew in numbers. I travel, forage and gather some whenever and wherever I go that has interesting soil colors. My exploration of these materials is still ongoing and I look at it as my lifetime passion. I want to create more works, collaborate with people and tell their stories about their land and to immortalize them through art.
I'm excited to try and find more colors in my paintings and to add in my set!
