Hey, I'm Diana! I love painting portraits and weaving small stories through my artwork.
Movies and books have been a lifelong inspiration for me. It was through watching anime during my childhood days that I first fell in love with drawing, as their rich storytelling fueled my curiosity to create something.
In 2014, I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Major in Painting from Far Eastern University. Throughout my journey, I've been drawn to the world of digital painting since my high school days. Our curriculum offered a flexible blend of design and art, which allowed me to gain valuable knowledge and experience the fulfillment of participating in multiple exhibitions and winning awards in Manila.
I also graduated from the Fashion Institute of the Philippines. I showcased my skills at our school's Runway Collection during the Manila Fashion Festival. From pattern making to painting and sewing each piece. When I'm not entranced by brushes and colors, you can catch me streaming games on Facebook @eizu23
Feel free to reach out, collaborate, or simply connect with me. Cheers!
