Philippines-born / American artist, Ria Del Rosario intuitively knew to paint herself and her loved ones in the setting of her Motherland. Growing up in the Philippines at an early age and then immigrating to America, she immediately realized to keep the influence of her family and ancestry by making art. For her, painting her memories of the Philippines along with the journey of growing up Filipino in America is a combination of therapy, love and nostalgia. Driven by the racial disparities observed when she was a kid, now as an adult, she continues to create as a form of appreciation and value for her roots. Through representation, she lives a sense of purpose and this ignites a passion in her to create as a whole. Inspired by Mother Nature, pop culture and her everyday surroundings as well, her motivation is to continue evolving by discovering the concepts of her space in the world.
