During his studies in Birmingham, he explored his personal identity, as a queer and Filipino man. This exploration has led to the development of his own distinctive art style. JanCarlo uses his cute and kawaii visual language to reimagine the archaic view of masculinity and attractiveness within the gay community. He accomplishes this by making black/brown chubby men his subject matter.
