Painting is the universal language, it's a transcending language..
Pablo Picasso said, 'Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.' I'm all about bringing that inner child out to play. It's about freedom, expression, and challenging inherited beliefs. I'm excited to share my latest creation with you – Unleaving. It's my way of blending painting and gaming into this emotional experience.

Mark is a Filipino artist who moved into digital art, creating graphics and digital paintings as a hobby.
Occasionally, he finds solace in incorporating traditional painting techniques, even utilizing an iPad for my artistic expressions. He is particularly drawn to Renaissance art, especially Rapheal and Caravaggio's work.
I'm really looking forward to picking up a paintbrush and getting creative again. It's been a while since I graduated from fine arts school and had the chance to paint. Watching Art Battle live, both in-person and online, has reignited my passion for art and inspired me to participate in this exciting event. It's always great to see other artists enjoying what they do!
