ART STYLE &
INSPIRATION

Billy F. Sangalang focuses on abstract and 3D art, incorporating QR codes into his works to create interactive experiences. Scanning the QR codes can reveal hidden content, such as additional paintings or songs, offering both free and monetized content. He uses technology to engage viewers and spread curiosity, believing that it helps promote and inspire conversations about his artwork. His paintings feature embedded technology, like pyramid concepts, to make the art come to life. Billy is also focused on monetizing his YouTube channel and using social media to promote his work, reaching a global audience, including Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

ART TO
SOCIETY

The artist believes that while traditional art is rooted in laws, culture, and human expression, AI and technology are changing the landscape of art. AI-generated art may lack the emotion and experience that human-created art carries. However, the artist believes traditional art will always have a place, and technology should complement, not replace, it. They advocate for blending traditional and high-tech art, as it engages both curiosity and entertainment, providing a unique experience for the viewer. Art should spark emotions, provoke thought, and offer something new, making it an enjoyable and fulfilling journey for those who experience it.

- BILLY SANGALANG

"Art has evolved beyond traditional brushes—technology now offers endless possibilities for creativity. I believe that in today’s world, art needs to engage, entertain, and make people think or feel something. Artists should consider how their work resonates with the current generation, using technology to keep audiences interested. While classic styles have their place, younger viewers are drawn to innovative, interactive, and technology-driven art. For me, art is visual storytelling, and making it fun and engaging helps inspire more people and connect with buyers in a meaningful way."
