From the ground up, I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. It started as an instinct—a way to make sense of the world by recreating it. Growing up as a "country boy" in the Philippines, life wasn't about having the best tools; it was about the resilience to build something out of nothing. That foundation of determination and perseverance became the silent engine behind every skill I’ve honed in the visualisation industry.
Visualising perfection long before I ever stepped onto a competitive racetrack, I was a seasoned 3D artist. I have collaborated on high-end architectural and product visualisation projects, from the skyscrapers of Singapore to the dramatic sceneries of Scandinavia. Using tools like 3ds Max, V-Ray, Corona, and Unreal Engine, I’ve spent over a decade creating digital environments that feel indistinguishable from reality. In my studio work, I apply the same meticulous consistency and attention to detail that eventually led me to the podium. I understand that a truly high-end visualisation isn't just a render—it’s about the layers of material, the truth of the lighting, and the perspective of the viewer.
Mastering the Limit: Toward the end of 2020, I took my technical understanding of geometry and light to the asphalt. What began as a passion turned into a professional pursuit as I began winning races throughout 2021 and 2022. Competing in the Pirelli Cup LW300, Moto IR, SSP300, and IRGP taught me something no classroom could: the absolute physics of speed. On a bike, you don't just see a corner; you feel the braking point, the apex, and the precise moment light hits the tarmac.
This "Racer's Eye" is my unique edge. Since moving to the UK in mid-2022, I have brought this perspective to the world's most elite circuits. Whether I am shooting at MotoGP, WSBK, or BSB, I am not just taking photos; I am anticipating the rider's next move because I have lived those lines myself.
Vistrata represents the culmination of these worlds. It stands for "Vis" (Visualisation) and "Strata" (Layers). It is my belief that great art is built in layers—layers of experience, layers of technical skill, and layers of perspective. Today, based in the UK, I aim to push the boundaries of motorsports media and architectural art. I don’t just capture images; I visualise performance.
