Kaiba

The KAIBA Creative Council was created to serve as a support system for creatives in the Fourth District of Pangasinan. Inspired by the Pangasinan word, kaiba, which means together, it is the council's mission to cultivate and nurture creative development in various mixed-arts communities in Pangasinan.

Nathaniel Jovero
I am a self taught artist whose work is based on life events, feelings, mood, and experiences. My technique is very experimenta, interpreting raw and mixed emotions into a piece. Art is a challenge, it can be misinterpreted by the viewer, just like people and intentions. My love of geometric figures, nature, music, photography, poetry & psychology reflects most of my works.
