IJWBAA [eej-wah] is a Filipino digital artist and the first Filipino recognized in the Techspressionism movement. He is a neologist and the originator of Decolonial Minimalism—an art movement that reclaims minimalism through ancestral memory and cultural reawakening. His works, compiled in two volumes of I Just Wannabe an Artist, have been recognized, officially archived, cataloged, and made available in the collections of the Gallerie degli Uffizi, Museo Reina Sofía, the National Museum of the Philippines, Getty Research Institute, and other prominent cultural institutions worldwide.

Notes to Self by IJWBAA: Personal Reflections and Insights

As a digital artist, painter, and author from the Philippines, I, Pao (also known as IJWBAA), often find that certain emotions and thoughts are challenging to express through visual art alone. In these moments, I turn to writing 'Notes to Self'—personal reflections that offer clarity and solace. This practice allows me to explore nuanced feelings beyond visual expression, enriching my creative process and deepening my understanding of my inner world
