#CulturePH - Take a Ride Inside the Metaverse as PH Artist Sheena Jacobo Competes in the World Finals of Red Bull Doodle Art 2023 in Amsterdam
Sheena Jacobo has experienced a rollercoaster of a few months, and things don't appear to be settling down any time soon. As the winner of the Red Bull Doodle Art National Finals, Jacobo will be traveling to Amsterdam for the Red Bull Doodle Art World Finals to formally establish herself as the top doodle artist in the world.
Jacobo's artwork, which focused on the interconnectedness of all life forms, was chosen from among the thousands of doodle art entries submitted at the National Finals on March 25th. Jacobo is now eligible to represent the Philippines at the World Finals as a result of her undisputed victory. With the country’s pride on her back, part of Jacobo’s preparation is ensuring she is well-equipped with the proper repertoire of creativity, innovation, and sheer resourcefulness to pull inspiration from imagination.
“After reading the Red Bull Doodle Art World Finals criteria, I started thinking about my ideas, such as what I’d like to portray in my doodle with Burnt Toast’s icon. I began to draw the themes that I’d envisioned. My doodle depicts the Filipino people during the Summer season. Activities that Filipinos enjoyed, our culture, and what Filipinos can offer the world,” said Jacobo.
“I really want to inspire artists like me that anyone, regardless of background, can do anything if they believe they can. My ultimate goal is, of course, to win the top spot. I know my competitors are really amazing, and winning the World Finals will truly be an honor,” she added.
The theme of this season’s Red Bull Doodle Art World Finals revolves around the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency and NFTs, encouraging full creative reign for the competing contestants. With Jacobo’s motivation at an all-time high, the graduate student from the Masters of Arts program at Naga College Foundation, Inc. is confident she will be on her A-Game headed to the world stage in Amsterdam.
