Hi! My name is France and I'm an Illustrator from the Philippines. For the longest time, I've been shifting projects between Art and video production. But from a young age, I've interwoven taking and drawing pictures to find the authentic medium for my work. When I found my niche in Architecture and construction videos, I focused on finding my voice in Art. Four years ago, I grew fond of Blind Contours and the solitude of the process. The contours showed the impermanent definition of beauty that guided me in simplifying complexities of the body and modern life. With an influence of Cinema, I hope to show more of the human experience through a montage of lines and liminal spaces.

Triad 4

Triad reminisces the familiar affection shared with our closest friends. By chance, moments in Manila composed the thought that ‘three people are most intimate’. The form is not enough to fill a circle but is stable to build a bond that is easily revived. It recognizes the different points in our lives that no one place can triads be found.
