A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST RULED BY EMOTION 
WHOSE DISTINCT MELANCHOLY MANNER 
POURED OUT OF HER HEART AND UNTO CANVAS ONE DAY

-

A CRAZED BUTTERFLY BORN IN THE WEEK OF YOUTH AND EASE 
IN 1 OF THE 7,107 ISLANDS OF THE PHILIPPINES 

A RECOVERED BORDERLINE WHERE AT EVERY MOMENT IN THE PAST 
SHE HAD ONE FOOT IN A FAIRY TALE AND THE OTHER IN THE ABYSS  

A DREAMER WHO IS IN LOVE WITH THE DRAMA OF EMOTION 
BELIEVING THAT EVERY EXPERIENCE IS AN EXPERIENCE WORTH HAVING 
AT LEAST ONCE 
WHILST LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF ENDLESS BECOMING 
IN THIS BEAUTIFUL THING CALLED LIFE

I take my pleasures seriously, be it painting melancholy portraits and pretty pictures of all I see,
or creating handcrafted pieces with emotion and making sweet nostalgia into jewellery,
to writing the romantic rhyme and rhythm of poetry,
or simply adorning myself in the whimsical art of fashion and accessories.

BOLD AND BRIGHT

STATUESQUE AND STYLISH, 30-year-old Tanya Escaler makes it all look so easy. 
With an efficient wardrobe that includes her TECHNOMARINE watch with red strap and CHLOE PADDINGTON white bag she certainly puts to good use. As she does volunteer work with the less fortunate children in hospitals, Escaler takes on a new journey and holds on to her WOMEN'S DEVOTIONAL BIBLE. She also finds another passion dabbling in abstract work and portraits and designs intricate handmade silver jewellery.When it comes to dressing, she wears pieces that are rather extraordinary, like her ROBERTO CAVALLI sarong. She likes to mix the old with the new like her vintage snakeskin belt that makes a statement with its contrasting textures. She adds her personal touch with a BLACK FEDORA. For unmatched style, she shines through with a simple white gold T pave diamond necklace.
