MENDOZA'S TOUCH.
The works of Art is definitely a gift of talent given to me by our almighty God, despite not being able to continue, attend or exhibit my works in art galleries, I have competed in different art contests and won, the hardships in life pushed me and diverted me to commercial arts. I have succeeded my college education in UP with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts despite my achievements, I wasn't able to maintain my passion in arts, ceased and was left behind by some of my colleagues who are now great and popular artists of our country. Some are already professors in fine arts from standard universities and schools. Anyway, maybe success wasn't really intended for me and somehow my ambition to apply for a VISA abroad was also unsuccessful, no matter how many times I've tried to apply but i always failed.However failures and frustrations could never drag me down because I've always prayed that God would give me hope, I'm so grateful for what i have achieved now, also I feel contented for everything that the Lord has given me thus giving purpose to my life. However I'm trying to continue what i left behind but using that in different ways that could replenish my livelihood and improve my personality. All of these artworks that i have displayed are varied, some i have searched and copied from the internet and some are my original works, I will not only post and/or display paintings and drawings, I will also include my t-shirt printing designs, flower pot creations, and other commercial artworks. Now that I've grown older i realized to change my life for the better and started to attend religious activities , joining the choir, BEC group and parish lay ministry to be able to consolidate myself with God. Somehow it also changed my perspective on how i see the world, now instead of seeing the negative side in our life I've taught myself to look for the good things in every people no matter how their past and background for I believe that "Nobody is Evil/Bad Unless they choose to be".
