“I’ve seen how the landscape has evolved to welcome both traditional and digital art through the years. Gone are the days that artists purely use traditional tools. I’ve seen more and more artists try their hand at digital art, including myself.”
We had a discussion with Ivy Berces (@prinsomnia_ ) on her magical and mythic influences, her road to art, transitioning from traditional to digital art with her Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G (@samsungph ).

had the mind to redo this in a social-media friendly aspect ratio, but….i let it take the form that the vision needed! 🤓 i’ve been having a deeply blue few weeks, and i needed this piece to face and swim through the grief.
✨meet the folks✨
Ivy Berces AKA @prinsomnia_ (she/her) is a little artist creature based in sunny Metro Manila, Philippines. She loves to explore botany, magic, and the esoteric through her art that vividly reflects her inner life. While being a cat mom of 5, a graphic designer by day and weirdo illustrator by night, she hopes to make a difference in people’s lives with pixels and pictures.
to cap off the month, a little throwback post to when my art was moving into @1111tattoomnl earlier this year! 🌞🌾💖 its been a whirlwind of happenings and struggles since then, but i’m hanging in there and keen to post more about the going ons and restocks moving forward. ✨ thank you for all the love and support so far!
if you’ve always wanted some of my merch (as i don’t table as often now) or if you’re in the poblacion area, 11:11 is the place to be! if not for a tattoo, you can shop for some curios, or get a tarot reading, and other fun stuff upstairs! 💖

cupboard heart❣️🌀🐚
coming from days of feeling disconnected with my body. within a tug of war in my heart where i feel like i’ve sheltered myself too often, but also have experienced too much to bear. always grateful for art as a way to ground myself again, somehow 🌾🌞
