Arnel Jatulan Natividad is a prolific artist known for his style called figurative cubism. He is known for his poetic captions and titles, as well as for the colorful stories behind his paintings. He loves to intrigue his audience with his work and lives by his own words, "Life is a puzzle of stories, a palette of experience and a rainbow of excitement".
He loves to distort images in his artwork in a style called cubism, popularized by master cubist Pablo Picasso and locally by Vicente Manansala, that uses different colors, shapes and geometrical patterns. Using his own visual language, he transforms canvas into interesting pieces of art. Arnel is a full time artist/cubist signing his works as ARJANA (short for Arnel Jatulan Natividad) in honor of his roots. He is the eldest amongst the Natividad Siblings known in the Philippine Art Scene.
