I.L.L. Painting

IG: @avocate_jareyes Atty. J.A. Reyes is a lawyer, law professor, and law book author. Albeit she is preoccupied juggling her career in the legal realm, she still wants to pursue her first love which is painting. Creating stories and emotions through painting is utterly therapeutic for her. Her method is akin to writing a piece of literature. She does not know what or how her finished artwork will look like. She draws and colors based on her ideas and unearth how the artwork’s story will unravel up to its completion. An innermost relationship between her and the canvas. Most of her works can be best described as an amalgamation of paradoxes, for she loves conveying dark themes utilizing bright hues. Her paintings demonstrate profundity, accoutred in neon and vivid colors, and precise strokes. A reflection of most human beings perhaps; shrouding melancholy with grins, putting forth sanguinity despite endeavors. Hence, she genuinely hopes that art connoisseurs will be able to relate to her artworks.
