The Fornesus Art Portfolio
I am Fornesus. Creative. Artist. Outsider. I seek for my voice to be listened to. I seek validation at times.
But I want to know myself. I want to find myself. I want to be myself. I will stay true to myself and my art.
My work reflects this inner angst.

Party Inside, On The Outside
Maybe it's healing. Maybe it's isolation. May I'm feeling depths of my exclusion. Busy besides the party inside. Please keep in mind, I'm on the outside.
Raging Seas
Ocean waves feel as I wade. The raging waters, in seas I fade.
Heated Stimulation
Remembering the days when I was in the heat, away from the coldness of my current feat. The vision, the passion, capacity to bask in the light of another, a friend, or a loved one. Stimulated I could see a future that's for me. Isolated I can only see the dread awaiting me.
Pagmamahal
Hindi ko alam kung paano mag mahal. Hindi ko den alam kong paano maramdam. Hindi ko den alam kong paano mag buhay, kase alam ko lang kong paano mag alam.
