Isko Andrade’s interest in art emerged from a faint childhood memory of one of his sisters, who was then finishing her coloring assignment, as he gazed at her with so much awe and wonder. Although his idealistic young mind wanted to become a pilot or a chef, Isko’s life has been pulled into the artistic path in his early adulthood, making the memory of his sister’s coloring assignment an important moment, a special and sublime encounter that foreshadows a life filled with colors.

Comprising of 9 works, Andrade paints the essence of a person by using striking objects that mirror their behavior, interests, attitude, as well as their emotional and cognitive patterns.
