The Colors of my World


Name: Gatchalian, Nikki Carranza

Hi there! I’m Nikki Gatchalian, but you can call me Niks or Nicole — that’s what my mom lovingly calls me. I’m a person who finds joy in the little things, especially when they come with a touch of creativity and color.


I’ve always been drawn to flowers. There’s something about their beauty and softness that inspires me — the way they bloom reminds me that everything grows in its own time. Maybe that’s why I fell in love with art and painting. Every brushstroke feels like plantingi a seed of emotion on a blank canvas.


Before, one of my favorite hobbies was playing table tennis. I had so much fun competing and improving my skills, but for some reasons, I decided to stop. Still, the lessons I learned from the game — focus, balance, and patience — stay with me even today.


Another thing I enjoy is playing the ukulele. There’s something peaceful about its sound; it makes me feel calm and free, especially when I play my favorite songs on quiet afternoons. I also have a soft spot for bracelets and handcrafted gifts — I love the thoughtfulness behind something made by hand. To me, those little creations carry love, effort, and personality.


I guess you could say that I’m someone who expresses herself through art, music, and heartfelt moments. My world is full of colors, textures, and emotions — all blending together to tell my story. 🌈


Thanks for stopping by my little space! I hope through my art and words, you get to know a bit more about who I am and what inspires me.
