About Arteh
Simple pero elegante
Hi! I am Arteh, a traditional and digital artist who loves the colors of sunsets from the Philippines.I do fan arts and original artworks as my favorite pasttime!These artworks includes hand lettering, paintings, portraits, illustrations, and publication materials. I used a variety of mediums in my artwork such as gouache, acrylic, glitter pens, color pencils, stickers, fancy paper, and many more!The name "Arteh" is basically from the saying "The world without art, is just eh". I like doing art because it allows me to be me, and take the time to explore and relax as I try making new concepts, revamping my old ideas, starting new projects, and many more! I really like planning and exploring new ideas as those are the things that spark my inspiration to do art. I am also inspired by the people around me, my fellow artists, and the things that I like such as showing the beauty of the Philippines and the magic of happiness through art.As long as this passion is burning bright, Arteh will forever be simple pero elegante with each brush stroke I create in this lifetime.
Calligraphy is the one that really kickstarted me to do art as a hobby, and something that I do passionately. I started doing calligraphy in grade 7 as it was the biggest trend to have pretty notes, alongside with journaling and scrapbook making. I was inspired by Abbey Sy where she was known for her creative journaling and calligraphy pieces, and I really looked up to her during those times. This made me explore art as I tested different mediums such as watercolors, acrylic paint, different types of writing utensils, and many more.This is one of my favorite pastimes as I like to make letterings of my favorite songs from the band Eraserheads, and I made fanmade lyric videos to their songs by recording my whole lettering progress. I dream of creating one for an artist as I think it will be a really cool experience and something unique to watch as well.
Now, I have my very first official lyric video which is for the song titled “Susuyuin” by Bien Francko! It all started as a joke when I told him that I can do a lettering for his song as I share with him my favorite past time, which eventually turned into reality. It was a really memorable and special experience for me as I got to know more about Bien in the process, and at the same time, appreciate more about his work as an artist by being able to witness what goes into the making of his song. So I was really happy being able to be a part of this process of sharing to others what the song is all about in the form of lettering.
