Jun's earliest memory involving art rewinds to a time before kindergarten. He's always loved art, even when most of his schooling years were geared to becoming a doctor like his father who, coincidentally, is quite an artist himself.

Today, mixed-media is Jun's preferred style. It dominates his work created for art shows, commissions, as well as those made specifically for organizations that hold annual auctions funding cures for ailments such as aids and cancer. For all the years he's contributed, his works of art have garnered some of the highest amounts of money and is continuously sought after.

He does admit, though, that he wishes he had more time to create and contribute, saying that the time he uses is mostly the hours after 12:00am leaving him with very little sleep. Jokingly, he says, "Staying up late and pulling all-nighters didn't end in art school." 

His passion and sacrifices have held true most of his life inspiring him to create a mantra that goes: 

ART IS MY STRENGTH AND MY WEAKNESS - Jun Pino
