Colors, are the root of which my inspiration for creating Art, became the platform to where I stand today. What made me decide to paint was not yearning for what I can get out of it, but what I can give away.

I have been a visual artist for more than 8 years and still, I am learning about new materials and designs that show who I am. My compositions are fairly symmetric and dependent on elements as a focus.

I am innately bound to my imagination, to which I create a representation of my reality, close to a surrealist art piece, where reality can only touch the surface but not land on it.

My notion of time and space is unyielding and distant from reality, my paintings speak highly of personal space and ownership, which means my work does not represent in the sense of a realistic depiction but a representation of a distant, yet familiar place.

All my works are soft and kind to the eyes. But though it can attract a certain familiarity, nothing is acquainted.

Coming from a family of artists, art has always been an integral part of who and what I am. Growing up, I have been exposed to my grandfather’s paintings, a National Realist Painter during the 1970’s and have always admired his works. Having the passion for the arts, I took a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design but have longed for a different style of art, a unique kind of art, to set me apart from other artists and yet combine with what I was exposed to growing up.

However, my passion for the arts only came later as I first wanted to become a pre-school teacher and gained my experience in the United States of America. My love for teaching art to my young students is what prompted me to do these designs.

I would draw for them and make it a point to make it as playful and quirky for them to appreciate. It taught me how to look at things differently and to think “out-of-the-box”. I could definitely say that my designs is glimpse of what fantasy looks like from a perspective of a child.

“I like to observe nature, how I provide various colors and shapes that play with our imagination. There is no such thing as too much magic in this world; I want to sprinkle a bit more through my art”

As a kid-at-heart, Pau Kimberly Co (PKimco) always seeks to translate her imagination into reality. She surrounds herself with art and literature, which inspire her to further her career in the creative field. Having graduated with Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design, she is able to synthesize her knowledge of different materials and production processes, and she applies this synthesis to her craft. Her current focus is nature and animals, and in 2019 her figurine design “Party Animals” received a Katha Award (Judge’s Pick) in a lifestyle event.

She considers herself a “happy designer” and believes that her main goal as a creative person, is to put a smile on someone’s face when they see her designs.
