My name is Alma Tipon, an artist specializing in aerial view seascapes that channel my profound connection to the ocean into refreshing and modern paintings. Growing up in the Philippines, surrounded by the natural beauty of islands and seas, I developed a deep-rooted affinity for the ocean that continues to inspire my work. My childhood memories of surfing and travels, coupled with my fascination with beach views from above, serve as the foundation for my artistic expression.
My art employs modeling paste, acrylic ink, 23-carat gold leaf, and various textures to bring the colors and textures of the ocean to life. I aim to capture the serenity and energy of the sea, creating pieces that reflect both calmness and dynamic fluidity. I'm inspired by drone photography, using aerial perspectives to capture the unique beauty of beaches around the world in my artwork. I'm truly grateful for the many people who connect with and appreciate how I see beauty in different perspective.
Starting my artistic journey at the young age of eight, I turned my passion into a thriving business, overcoming the challenges of growing up in a large family with limited means. Today, I teach art and own two studios in Wimbledon Art Studios, where I share my love for painting with others.
I am also a strong advocate for mental health, a commitment that is woven into my art classes. I believe in the transformative power of art as a tool for emotional expression and healing. My classes are designed to provide a mindful and therapeutic experience, offering students not just art techniques but also a holistic experience that promotes well-being. By collaborating with other well-trained artists, I enhance the learning experience, ensuring high-quality instruction and diverse perspectives for my students.
