Hi!

Welcome to my creative space. My name Ayn. I was born and raised in the wonderful island of the Philippines. I worked and lived in Dubai for 10 years. In 2019, I moved to Canada with my family.

I’m a Fashion Illustrator primarily working with watercolor, though I love to experiment and explore other mediums as well.

My passion for art started with my fascination with abstract painting. In 2012 while working for a real estate company in Dubai for 10 years, I visited countless houses, villas, apartments and commercial spaces (like shops and offices). It was during these site visits that I saw unique and breathtaking abstract arts displayed on the walls of either residential or commercial towers, in the villas and in the houses.

Admiring their uniqueness and visualizing the unusual strokes each artist used, I found connection in those abstract arts. It was those quiet moments when I stood in front of a painting inside an empty house or space that made me understand the message behind every abstract creation. It then led me to explore my inner creativity and try painting based on my imagination.

On the other hand, my journey as a fashion illustrator began in the midst of 2020, shortly after I welcomed my baby into the world. Amidst the pandemic, while spending most of our time at home, I dived into watercolor paintings, experimenting with loose florals and incorporating them into my fashion illustrations.

Honestly, I never saw myself as an artist and designer but I decided to become one. The freedom to express myself through florals and fashion illustrations has become one of my ultimate goals in achieving self-contentment. 

In my creative journey, my mantra is “I don’t create outside the box, I create like there’s no box”.
