Joejene C. Santos is a Filipino artist who currently resides and practices in Ottawa, Canada. Joejene’s journey in the arts began with the completion of a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts in 1996 in the Philippines, a milestone that set the groundwork for his future artistic aspirations.
Joejene: Unveiling Humanity’s Beauty through Abstract Art
Embracing the belief that art serves as an introspective journey, Joejene perceives it as a conduit to unveil the inherent beauty of humanity. This conviction profoundly fuels his creative approach, which involves layering paint as a representation of his emotional state, cherished memories, and self-perception. Joejene’s works exhibit a nuanced balance, concealing less desirable aspects whilst highlighting elements that resonate with his personal evolution.
Joejene’s artwork is known for its unique modern abstract style. It’s a blend of planned and spontaneous elements, inspired by his youthful rebellion against societal rules. A common story that symbolizes his artistry is how he would mess up his perfectly arranged hair, a counteraction to his mother’s careful grooming efforts. This rebellion is reflected in his art as he pushes against conventional beauty standards by including disorder. However, he skillfully balances this chaos in his work.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“Art is a way of discovering the beauty of who we are within and the greatest that we will be.”
