: Raisa Que

Featured Artist at Galerie Joaquin Online: Raisa Que

Raisa Que (b.1991) is a self-taught visual artist from Manila. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Multimedia Arts at the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde, where she learned to hone her artistic talents and passions. Taking a hiatus from painting after her first job, it was during the pandemic that she started to paint again, continuing to practice and improve her technical skill.

After exploring different acrylics, textures and mediums, Raisa brought about a compelling oeuvre of abstract illustrations that continue to peak the interest of admirers and art collectors.

Raisa’s inspiration comes from her earnest appreciation for life and its nuances – simple yet impactful depending on how one interprets it. Listening to classical music is also one of her strong influences. Finding resonance in everyday objects, humans and activity, Raisa intuitively transforms her vivid imagination into luminescent illustrations of recurring lines, shapes, and forms bolstered with accents of color and texture; opulent yet harmonious in a sense where the elements ultimately find balance. 

Her notable style has earned her spots for group exhibitions in prominent galleries around Metro Manila as well as a loyal network of art clientele.
