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