{"title":"Angelo Roxas","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAngelo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRoxas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMoving 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAngelo Valmoria Roxas lives and works in Quezon City, Philippines.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"anna-staceys-portrait","title":"Anna Stacey's Portrait","description":"\u003cp\u003eI'm Angelo Valmoria Roxas-an artist on a continuous quest to uncover the truths hidden beneath the surface. My work is shaped by a deep exploration of the illusions that influence our perceptions, the false stories that form our identity, and the systems of power we often fail to challenge. Central to my art is the crown-used not as a symbol of royalty or success, but as a reflection on self-identity, hierarchy, and the unseen forces that govem our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown has always fascinated me. It symbolizes both adomment and burden, a mark that elevates yet confines. Over time, it has come to represent the false consciousness I see distorting our understanding of the word. We frequently assign meaning based on extemal approval instead of inner value, and the crown embodies this misconception. My artwork strives to peel away these layers, urging viewers to confront not just the symbol, but the truths it conceals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u003cimg\u003ert has always been my way of engaging with the world, questioning it, and trying to make sense of its complexities. My pieces aren't just reflections of society, but investigations of its distortions— the myths we live by, the invisible power dynamics, and the consciousness we often overlook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to visual art, I've expressed myself through storytelling. My background in writing for television has influenced the way I approach both mediums. In each, I aim to deconstruct the narratives that shape our lives and expose the truths often buried beneath them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs my joumey continues, I remain committed to delving into the intersections of perception, identity, and power. The crown remains central to my work—a symbol of the forces that shape us, the illusions we hold, and the ongoing search for clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelo Roxas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46895748907169,"sku":null,"price":48000.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/7534\/1217\/files\/viber_image_2026-08-13_15-20-28-0841_f119e7c2-f40b-43db-95b9-5acb8551f120.jpg?v=1787112496"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.namiart-gallery.com\/collections\/angelo-roxas-1.oembed","provider":"namiart-gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
