Since childhood, Christian has always used art, of all mediums, as his main form of communication. While exploring the cultures within his Filipino and Creole origins, this fascination with self expression manifested itself in many ways. From his early time experimenting with fashion and music, to his endless amount of sketches, Christian has always explored the world of communication through visual and emotional provocation. This became evident to his peers after noticing in almost every childhood photo, one thing was apparent, Christian was never seen without his favorite Etch-A-Sketch.

Over the years, Christian has honed this passion into incredible works exploring intimacy, vulnerability, spirituality, and the human condition with an emphasis on recognizing and reclaiming the divinity that lives inside us all. With Jean-Michel Basquiat as his main inspiration, his means of creation consists of his bare hands and a combination of chalk, acrylic, and oil paint.
