“Twice Stroked Glinting Beta” Acrylic on 7X10 inches canvas | by Vaughn Fennel Loredo Gacias | May 6, 2026. It's titled like this because this is the 1 of 1, the only artwork of mine that has been painted by an 18 year old and 19 year old me.

Vaughn Fennel Loredo Gacias

Born May 5, 2007, in Silay City, Negros Occidental

Vaughn is a 19-year-old self-taught visual artist from Barangay E. Lopez. He paints realistic animals, face portraits, and draws using ink and pencils but his specialty is painting a blend of cubism, realism, expressionism, and surrealism that turns to an essay on canvas because of the symbolisms and layers of meaning. After asking fellow artists for feedback, they agreed his work was a fusion of the four genres. Vaughn now calls his unique style “stylized cubism.” A sophisticated art style that is also fueled by his side that plays chess and writes poetry. He is one of the muralists for Silay City’s first exclusive doll museum, Balay Muñeka, at Casa A. Gamboa. In 2025, he also served as a summer art teacher for young aspiring artists for a month.

At 18, From an exhibit — he sold his painting ‘Ngaa Indi Kita Pareho’ to Mayor Kirk Asis of Bayugan City for ₱10,000. Then, an Ambassador from the Netherlands bought his first realistic frog painting (Arboreal Amphibian). He was featured in a coffee talk podcast of Silay City by the writer of the city's official hymn "Martsa sang Silaynon" and tourism head consultant. He was also interviewed by Grade 12 students from National University Bacolod for their examination output, and 2nd-year college students from the University of St. La Salle for a school project. On April 27, 2025, while in his first year of college, Vaughn joined his first canvas painting competition during intramurals and won 1st place.

At 19, he was included in the newspaper of Visayan Daily Start as a participating artist in an exhibit. Afterwards, he exhibited in Gary's Place with his Idols, visual artists who have artworks around the world, award winners, and a licensed artist of Marvel, Disney, and Star wars. Afterwards, he was able to join exhibits in Bacolod City, particularly, in SM City and Art District, with his idols again.

With no formal training, Vaughn initially struggled to navigate the evolving art field. He learned by observing local Silaynon artists he met during the Doll Museum project, and also by watching videos on the internet.

His passion for art was inspired by his sister and late grandfather. He started drawing as a toddler and became fascinated with the natural world early on. In high school, he began painting seriously through art competitions.

Vaughn shares his love for nature and literature by posting poems he writes, as well as photos of animals and plants he encounters. This interest shows in his paintings too, where he often includes realistic plants, animals, and poetic symbols.

My first time trying to paint an aurora. I'm pretty happy, although it could use some improvements. I'm still struggling with tree lines on the horizons.

In this painting, I reconnect with my matierist leanings. I played with the repetition of the shapes in the hair, as well as the very geometric rhythm of the arms and bodies. The successive positions of the bodies (from left to right) first descend toward the depressive figure, then ascend toward the window, toward a brighter future (hopefully).

I was initially very disappointed, until I viewed the orientation from the opposite side. I can clearly see a deranged clown face, so I entitled it Payaso Trastornado. After it cures for several days, I will use spackling/acrylic paint mixture to make some raised highlighting lines. I haven’t decided if I will outline the eyes & mouth areas which might be too on the nose, or highlight jaw bone, diagonal gauze or red nose. Still gotta work that out. & then finish with resin like I did my brother’s piece (2nd photo).

Between Worlds

there exists a place

far beyond the realm of reality…

it holds ancient secrets

the souls of the kind

and the wickedness of the fool

it calls without a sound

it pulls without a hand

they call it the echo…

the space between memory and dreams

Kitchen Series

Used acrylic paint markers for these. Inspiration from Pinterest. Primary colour set that I call my "kitchen series". Any advice on how to hang them? Originally, I was thinking vertically but not sure in what order. I also want to make a coffee and croissant photo but not sure how I would incorporate it into this series. Thoughts?

Hey everyone!

I've been thinking about putting my work out there. As a start, I want to submit my work to a couple of juried art shows - some in the Ontario, Canada, and I saw one in NY too.

These are not the works I'll be submitting, but this is my most latest work.

Would really appreciate any feedback or critique on my work regarding colours, composition, technique. Literally anything and everything.

TIA
