Hi, I’m Maria—the artist behind ColorKreme.
I’m a visual artist who finds inspiration in everyday life: quiet mornings, familiar places, people passing by, and moments that feel small but meaningful. I’ve lived in the same compound for many years, and sketching these surroundings has become a way for me to document time, memory, and personal growth.
Art has always been more than a passion for me—it’s a form of healing and reflection. Through sketching and portrait work, I slow down and observe life as it unfolds. I work with pencil, oil pastel, and textured surfaces, focusing on capturing emotions, character, and atmosphere rather than perfection.
I also create portrait drawings, working with both personal references and live models. Each piece is approached with care and intention, aiming to reflect the individuality and story of the subject. Whether it’s a commissioned portrait or a casual sketch done in a café, my goal is to create art that feels honest and human.
This blog is my creative journal—a place where I share my sketches, processes, thoughts, and the stories behind the artwork. It’s a space for reflection, growth, and connection with others who find comfort and inspiration through art.
Welcome to my world of sketches, colors, and quiet moments.
(Maria Theresa Caguioa Tuates)
