The origin of Powenique goes back to when I was little. I’ve always loved to draw—ever since I had barrettes in my hair. Drawing has always been a medium that allowed me to express myself without worrying if someone would judge me for it.

 

People used to call me “weird” just for expressing myself and making the kind of art I loved. Being labeled as “weird” really affected me negatively. I mean, who actually wants to be called weird?

 

But as I’ve reached my 20s, I’m learning how to love and express myself freely. 

 

One big turning point was when I started to love my gap. It became a symbol for me—of embracing individuality and loving what makes me different. Because really… who wants to be like everyone else?

 

That’s why Powenique exists: celebrating individuality and self-expression. And I think that’s more important now than ever—with the rise of social media trends and the pressure to follow what everyone else is doing.

 

So I invite you to explore and connect with whatever piece speaks to you—something that feels like you, something that reflects your own story in a way only you can understand.
