Life That Does Not Wither
I am Mark Anthony Z. Salameda of Angono, Rizal. I started my interest in painting when I started studying in Regional Lead School for the Arts in Angono during the first implementation of the K-12 program in the year 2011.
After I finished my studies in grade 12, I met a modern surrealist artist also his masterpieces that gave me more interest and motivation to do my very best in painting.
I was given the opportunity to showcase my God-given talent during the 1st exhibit @rizal art festival in SM City Taytay in 2014, 2nd group show @art in the park Alabang 2015, 3rd group show giant dwarf gallery 2019, 1st Binangonan Painting Competition in February 2018 at Binangonan, Rizal and I won 1st prize.
I do a lot of artwork and I used oil and acrylic paint. I can say that I am a surrealist painter because my artworks are inspired by nature, dreams, and puzzling poetry and stories.
I am working as a technician of lights and audio while still pursuing my passion for painting. I am planning to finish my studies in Architecture after the pandemic.
Philosophy
I'm a nature of arts expect for the betterment of my future and surpass the trials in life with a smile. I don't just paint on canvas but I put myself in it.
