Lives and works in Paris. He calls himself a "pop appropriation artist." Mickey Mouse, Pikachu and Godzilla ride jeepneys and eat halo-halo in his paintings, a bright surface hiding questions about consumerism and colonial habits of mind. A former finance professional, he held his first solo exhibition in Manila in 2023 and has since shown in Paris, London, Osaka, Amsterdam and Tokyo.
