PROFILE
RAECHE

Manila, Philippines
A contemporary artist who loves using acrylic as her medium for painting. She fell in love with art and ballerinas at a very young age.
Art makes her feel alive and keeps her happy. She wants people to see and feel her emotions through her works.
She loves painting still life objects such as—flowers, fascinating creatures like butterflies, everyday people such as children and mothers.
In 2003 Raeche graduated from DLSU—College of Saint Benilde, and the Philippine School of Interior Design to major in BS Interior Design. It naturally led her into the field where she experienced working as a designer both in-house and as a freelancer, and into garments production and merchandising.
She also became an art facilitator for grade school children, which widened her knowledge about Art and People.
In 2017 she decided to be a full-time artist and her works started to get recognized by art collectors around the world.

-Motions, flow and fluidity are visible and artistically done—This is her unique style that we love the most . It will make you smile and will move your inner spirit to dance.

KNOW YOUR ARTIST
Where are you right now? and At Least One Goal (What is your artwork’s main message to this world)
Positivity and Hope in Humanity. Inspire one person at a time at any age to dream Big
What does your Artwork represent most of the time?

What are your primary mediums?
My paintings nowadays are mostly Acrylic on Canvas, but I started out with Oil and from time to time I still paint in Oil.
How have you noticed your art style change or develop over time?
When I found my style in 2016 that was the time I started to develop it, working around the same fluidity in my medium but tweaking it a bit, like for these series I would these theme, or same kinds of colors, process, etc.
Do you have an art background? Please share a bit about it.
I graduated as Interior Designer in De La Salle College of Saint Benilde and in Philippine School of Interior Design
What made you decide to choose the art career path?
“Looking back I always loved art,
it was “My Happy Place”,
a world of my own.
When I was young my mom bought me
those jumbo crayons and I draw everywhere.
I mean literally everywhere, even on our walls.
I’m blessed that my parents always
encouraged me to follow my passion
and after graduation at a university
I took up an art class and got hooked.
It started out as a hobby
but it was sheer bliss whenever I painted.
So it became my dream job.
In 2017 I decided that if I want to make art
as a living it’s now or never.
I focus and visualize myself as an artist creating magnificent art and inspiring everyone who’ll look at it.
I see this as my long term career.”
What and/or who is your inspiration? Or do you find inspiration externally? Is it someone else or something else?
“I have a long list of people who inspire me or I look up to and wish to follow their footsteps somehow.
What keeps me motivated is knowing that God gave me this talent and I owe it to Him.
I love to use this talent, improve it and hopefully make people see the beauty of life. “
What do you think are the key characteristics of your work that help you standout from the crowd?
First it is my Expression. We are unique in our own way. Every painting style has been done before we just got bits and pieces of every style and tailor made it on our own…. And then it becomes you. The fluidity in movement as if the painting has a life on its gives characters to my works. It usually depends on my music and mood what the emotion emits in my paintings and I guess the viewers sees it somehow.
What creative or technical process do you have or do you practice in working or making your masterpieces?
Well it depends, sometimes I can paint it in a day or a week but sometimes it takes longer like a month or even two months. Unless I haven’t envisioned it in my mind or see it in my dreams I can’t seem to finish it or be satisfied with it.
