Aside from painting she’s also passionate in floral styling, web designing & organizing events and art exhibits.

Take a glance at one of Jovelle Mae Jaca's new pieces for Colors of Liberation: Pride & Freedom Art Exhibit 🏳️‍🌈🎨❣️

"Elegance of Empowerment: The Divine Feminine Unveiled" is a captivating series which started from the "Whispers of Essence" that celebrates the profound metamorphosis of womanhood. Each stroke and hue captures the essence of a woman's journey—her rise from the depths of doubt to the heights of self-assurance."

"I am a Mompreneur and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Accountancy in the University of San Jose Recoletos. I am not an artist by profession, I'm a self-taught artist honed through group sessions, workshops, and other related experiences in painting and currently studying further to improve more on the technical side of arts. I owe my life to this God-given talent that has been hidden for so long... the reason why I'm so passionate with all my works. I've been suffering from depression for quite awhile and during the pandemic... God has guided me and opened up a door for me where I can express myself freely. It was a such a great healing avenue for me. I never thought that my creations will be appreciated. I was beyond grateful for all that the Lord has done. And everything I do, is for His glory!"

"Express yourself is the Freedom we all want to have."

"My journey in Arts started from sketching, doing pen & ink on my notebooks in college. It's my way of spending my free time in between school and working for the family business. Then came a chance to join Boy Kiamko summer workshops that introduce me to colors, Watercolor and Acrylic. Even tried using tinting colors on glass & mirrors. Sold some of my works in my shop before. Some i give as gifts to family & Friends for birthday & house warming. It's a Passion that I wish to continue to do, so I would be able to see my works in homes & work place of people who patronize arts. I'm working on my collection to one day soon, would be able to do my solo exhibit. Arts is Love, Love expressed in Every brush strokes It's a Legacy that appreciates thru time, that could pass on for generations."

Meet our Artist AJ Vilan 🫰🎨

"The painting depicts two women with intertwined pinkies, a symbolic gesture of a promise... that has been shattered. The tablecloth in the background underscores their secret bond. The other paper ring, while artistically beautiful, appears tattered and about to fall apart, reflecting the fragile and damaged nature of her commitment. “

AJ Vilan is an Architecture graduate and a passionate visual artist whose work is a vibrant expression of her emotions and inner world. Rooted in her architectural training, AJ's art is characterized by a keen eye for detail, and a strong sense of structure. However, it is her ability to convey deep, often complex emotions through her pieces that truly sets her apart. AJ has participated in numerous exhibitions, her pieces often explore themes of personal growth, resilience, and the human experience, inviting viewers to connect on an intimate level. AJ's creative journey is fueled by her desire to communicate feelings that are often difficult to articulate with words. Through her art, she provides a window into her soul, offering a glimpse of the joys, struggles, and triumphs that shape her existence. This emotional honesty, combined with her architectural sensibility, results in works that are both aesthetically compelling and deeply moving. AJ continues to develop her craft, constantly exploring new mediums and techniques to better express her artistic vision. Her work not only reflects her personal narrative but also resonates with a broader audience.
