Biologist · Artist
Maria Victoria Gonzaga (Vix Maria), a biologist, a life science writer by profession. I created vix·ph for me to channel my passion for an uncanny fusion: life science and art. When I am overwhelmed by a wave of biology facts and discourse, I find solace in the creative feat that art kindles. I find an inexplicable contentment seeing multifarious lines and colors take a harmonized form. Through this website, I intend to share my passion for art and my vast appreciation of life to anyone who can relate as much. Welcome to vix.ph!

You’ve probably seen this meme that apparently mocks the white colored pencil… It makes me wonder what it ever did to this meme’s author that he or she thought of it as something useless. I find this meme so repulsive that I was driven to write about it. This seemingly “useless” colored pencil in the bunch has a valuable role in an art piece on its own merits. Use it to highlight or adjust color’s luminosity. That

I’m glad that my kids have the same feel for an artistic kind of “documenting”. Yesterday (February 5) was a Chinese New Year holiday. So, we spent it together at home, … by watching a movie and playing PS4 games soon after my work. (Yep! Holidays
