A self-taught artist, painter, and toy designer, his works have been exhibited in various museums and galleries in the Philippines. He is a graduate of Inter-Disciplinary Studies at the University of St. La Salle Bacolod.

Tijing, a Silay-based artist, was nominated for the Cultural Center of the Philippines 13 Artists Award in 2012. He was a semifinalist in the 2010 Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE) National Painting Competition.*
