Artist’s corner

There’s no limit to making art or where artists can draw inspiration. Take it from Zachiko G. Jontongco, a Grade 10 student from Victorious Christian Montessori College Inc. He began making his pieces after being inspired by simple yet vibrant subjects around him.

“Leo” It is a commissioned piece for my friend and classmate, who requested a portrait of her dog! Leo is sitting on a stone fence that shows the view of Mt. Rainier.

“The more colorful and balanced the subject is, the more inspired I get! But, usually, when I scroll through social media, specifically Instagram and Twitter. I see other artists (mostly oil painters) and their works, which are so beautiful and motivational, which gives me the drive to work!” he said.

“Charlie & Chuckie” This is a portrait of my beloved pets, Charlie the cat and Chuckie the dog. Charlie passed two years ago during the process of painting, making the pieces more sentimental.

Jontongco began recognizing his talent at four years old. His cousin would doodle blobs and comic-styled whips on paper. It piqued the young Jontongco’s interest, so he began drawing everything from his colorful imagination. He usually draws characters and people he likes, often from pop culture or the people around him.

“Lady Gaga portrait” This painting is my favorite! The shot, which I drew inspiration from, was taken during her performance of the national anthem of the USA at the inauguration of President Joe Biden.

“My art style is very versatile, but I’m still finding the right style that fits and corresponds to me the most! The artists that inspire my art style are Will Rochfort (@willrochfortart), Safeyah Aljabouri (@aljabouri), and Scott Christian Sava (@ssavaart),” he shared.

“Billie Eilish’s ‘Happier Than Ever’ album cover” I really liked her complexion, so I got inspired to paint her.
