Early signs of creativity led Henry to pursue fine arts at the University of the Philippines. As fate would have it, his family migrated to the U.S. after 2 years of training and education. Shortly after, he pivoted to academic goals in architecture when he began his appreciation for natural materials. In the 1980s, he continued his romance with his first love, oil on canvas. However, a decade later, he was inspired to combine the unique aesthetic depth, complexity, and beauty that comes from the amalgamation of both media.

The result is this masterfully crafted work of art seen here today.
