During the quarantine, actress Bea Alonzo has discovered a new hobby in the form of painting — something she never really thought of doing before.

Alonzo took to Instagram last Saturday, May 30, to share with fans that as she has not been acting for a while, she found painting to be a good outlet for her creativity.

“Trying different things in this unprecedented time. Never even thought of painting before, (don’t judge! I just started and not claiming to be good at it!),” she said.

“But I realized, arts and plants go very well together. It’s like reading a book, you are taken to another world, a world where you are the only one allowed to enter. It’s an escape,” Alonzo added.

Alonzo’s post was accompanied by snippets of her painting an image of a plant, as she is surrounded by her real-life inspirations and other pieces of artwork depicting faces.

“Since I haven’t been acting for quite some time now because of the pandemic, I thought, I should find an outlet for my creativity. It’s nice. It makes my heart happy,” she said.

Amid the current health crisis, Alonzo has also been helping out by creating and donating face shields to frontliners, as well as teach followers how to make face shields themselves. NVG
