Rachel Le Roux

A British-Filipina self-taught visual artist based in Manila Philippines, Rachel Le Roux works primarily with pencil and oil on canvas, but occasionally ventures out into mixed media art.

She is known mostly for her love of the female form in motion, where she reveals how their bodies create expressive movement that is entirely in sync with the elements of flow. Rachel captures motion and emotion in her work, catching a single moment in a stolen second. However, most recently, she has revisited her love for abstract art, bringing her unused paint from her figurative work into play as she still continues to explore movement in her abstract pieces. She nurtures her love for both mediums, creating balance and harmony that is woven into her art practice. The ebb and flow of her growth as an artist remains constant and unceasing, resonating in the emotional expression exposed in her work.

Rachel’s work has been shown in group exhibits, the South Arts Festival Art Fairs and an art auction at Leon Gallery, Manila and her paintings can be found in private homes in San Francisco, Virginia, Australia, London, Singapore, and Manila.

About her art, Le Roux shares, “In the beginning of my journey, I discovered my love for pencil and oil on canvas and in my work, I usually unveil the female form in dance or in her solitude, unravelling in her own suspended moment in time. In the process of creating her, my pieces navigate through layers that eventually unravel to become my narrative where I try to tell stories of my own in faces and bodies that don’t belong to me. Most recently, my art has temporarily shifted into the expression of movement through abstract art, where I embrace the magic that allows me to dive in deeper into myself. Slowly, that magic escapes into my art and that freedom is wonderful.”
