Meraki

The essence of pouring oneself into one’s work transcends the mere act of creation. It is a testament to the power of human emotion, creativity, and dedication. To create is a reminder that at the intersection of skill and soul lies the potential to make something truly remarkable, something that carries within it the indelible mark of its creator. Woven into the fabric of its creation, is a celebration of the profound connection between the creator and their work, between human effort and its impact on the world.

For her latest, exhibition, Jax Pasimio pays homage to her craft in an ardent display of intricately composed dots of floral figurations. Enjoining the concept of Meraki–a Greek word that denotes the act or process of creating something out of pure love and passion, and her familiar subjects of ornate compositions, Jax Pasimio melds a visual symphony of delicately rendered rhythmical works that investigate the narrative of the transcending power of art, highlighting the experience over the image itself.

Consequently, “Meraki” is a bold testament to the enduring power of the human spirit to create something that goes beyond the perceptual understanding and limitations of our own capacities. Jax Pasimio’s tenacious vigor to create proves that in a world increasingly dominated by mass production and automation, works that are the result of heartfelt dedication stand out as beacons of individuality and authenticity. They remind us of the value of human touch and the irreplaceable magic of persistence, passion, and truth.

Visual artist Jax Pasimio is a graduate of Behavioral Science from De La Salle University. Pasimio also finished a short Digital Arts course from the First Academy of Computer Arts. As a visual artist, she states that her source of inspiration comes from the interconnection of human patterns with the outside world. Elaborate motifs, vibrant colors, and intricate detailing are all hallmarks of her visual style.
