Encrypting the inner Mona Lisa / Tian Maliuanag Casimiro

Art in various ways is a lot like our life. It can be chaotic, it can be aesthetic, it can be an abstract that few people will understand but it is still wonderful and full of colors to live in. Ever since I was young and got hold of a pencil, I have always been drawing stick figures on paper and the wall. Perhaps, my father is one of my biggest influences on me. Hence, the reason why I love drawing is because when he was drawing my toy, I was curious about the world of art and I also seemed to want to learn to draw things and people. When I was in high school, I started doodling anime figures in the back of my notebooks such as Goku, Inuyasha, and other anime that possess amazing action scenes and stories. During that time, almost all my notebooks were full of drawings instead of notes. My grandfather is an architect, and his wish is to have someone from the family inherit his company. Since my family was aware of my passion towards drawing, they decided to let me venture into architecture and see if I would be able to continue what my grandparents had done.
