Angelo Valmoria Roxas is a Filipino contemporary visual artist whose practice explores identity, transformation, memory, mortality, and the human condition. Working primarily in painting, drawing, and sculpture, he develops a personal visual language shaped by symbolism, figurative imagery, and geometric structures.
Roxas studied Visual Communication at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (Batch 1994). Before pursuing visual art full-time, he spent more than two decades as a professional television writer and story editor, an experience that continues to influence his approach to visual storytelling, symbolism, and conceptual development.
He began practicing art professionally in 2019 and became a full-time visual artist in 2022. His work is characterized by recurring symbols and a distinctive geometric vocabulary, most notably his “Anastasis” form—a crown-like geometry that has developed into an important visual signature in his practice. The form reflects ideas of ascent, transformation, continuity, and the cyclical nature of existence.
In 2024, Roxas mounted Koronang Tanso, his solo exhibition at Secret Fresh Gallery, Ronac Art Center, followed by Tropical Gothic at Galerie Joaquin, BGC. These exhibitions established and further developed his exploration of symbolism, contemporary mythology, and the psychological dimensions of the human figure.
He has since continued to present his work through solo and group exhibitions, participating in various contemporary art exhibitions and collaborative projects throughout the Philippines. He is also a member of the Saturday Group, one of the country’s longest-running artist groups.
Moving between painting, drawing, and sculpture, Roxas continues to develop a distinct contemporary Filipino visual language that merges personal experience with broader questions of identity, memory, transformation, and existence.
Angelo Valmoria Roxas lives and works in Quezon City, Philippines.
