The Fornesus Art Portfolio
I am Fornesus. Creative. Artist. Outsider. I seek for my voice to be listened to. I seek validation at times.
But I want to know myself. I want to find myself. I want to be myself. I will stay true to myself and my art.
My work reflects this inner angst.

Ocean waves feel as I wade. The raging waters, in seas I fade.
Heated Stimulation
Remembering the days when I was in the heat, away from the coldness of my current feat. The vision, the passion, capacity to bask in the light of another, a friend, or a loved one. Stimulated I could see a future that's for me. Isolated I can only see the dread awaiting me.
Pagmamahal
Hindi ko alam kung paano mag mahal. Hindi ko den alam kong paano maramdam. Hindi ko den alam kong paano mag buhay, kase alam ko lang kong paano mag alam.
Me:
in mind
Existence is epheremal, and timeless. Confined to the body, and its impacts to the world outside. View work.
the facade
Our very humanity is layered, from our existence to our conscience. View work.
acting
There are many ways to interpret my essence. My words, my thoughts, and who I am are all too much for many to fully understand. I just exist to live my life. View work.
in color
Color brings vibrancy to lives, otherwise, devoid of it. View work.
a colored identity
No oe understands me. But what is there to understand? What can I symbolize when no one fully knows me? View work.
on the outside
Material form has never been the extent of existence. View work.
