I'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.

The 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.

Art 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.

In 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.

As 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.
