THE ARTIST |
The art of Rebie Ramoso inspires empathy. This is not by chance but by design. As a visual and conceptual artist, Ramoso has always strived to elicit a visceral response from her audience.
Her works take us beyond the message and into the moment. What they offer is not a critique or an analysis, but an experience.
Ramoso confronts social and anthropological issues like identity and poverty, from a psychological perspective. With a formal training in Painting and Psychology, she is not afraid to venture deep into the psycho-emotional realm of human experience.
Ramoso is a master in creating inner worlds. Her landscapes are alive with non-verbals. Her still life abound with personal effects. Her works are adept at inhabiting the innermost corners of a person’s life. Her digital paintings, she says, are an intimate reflection of ourselves, particularly those sides of ours too painful to look at. Her works have been featured in solo and collective exhibitions in the Philippines, United States, Belgium, and Italy.
One of Ramoso's digital paintings, The Long Forgetting, received the Special Merit award at the 5th Annual All Women Art Exhibition, organized by Light Space and Time Gallery, in Florida, USA in 2015.
In 2017, Rebie’s digital paintings were featured along with works of international contemporary artists at EGOS XIII Edition: From Picasso to the International Artists, at Oud-Sint Jan Museum, Brugge, Belgium.
She continues to exhibit her works overseas, and has since then, participated in collective exhibitions in New York, Brugge, Florence, Venice and Rome.
In April 2018, Rebie’s digital painting, How I Forget You, was featured in ArtExpo New York, through Coronari 111 Gallery, Rome, Italy.
Her solo exhibition entitled “The Stories That Write Us”, at Galleria La Pigna, Rome, Italy, in May 2019, featured her aesthetic research on the different cusps shared by women beyond distance, culture and geographic differences.
Art critic and Artistic director, Dr. Rosi Raneri wrote of Ramoso’s works: “The strength of the artistic research of young artist, Rebie, is that she dwells in capturing the emotion and psychology of experiences, allowing us to understand the motivations of the women in her paintings; such that we are moved to visually read their thoughts.”
Rebie Ramoso earned the approval of the scientific committee of the Atlante dell’Arte Contemporanea 2020 (Atlas of Contemporary Art), who likewise elaborated on how the artist successfully translates her artistic message:
“The fruit of the multifaceted training, open both to the field of art and to that of psychology, Ramoso’s works investigate the sphere of memory, of gender identity, a body which derives from a real lens of sexuality, poverty and motherhood, showing the viewer a profound and extremely radical journey through the psycho-emotional realm of human experience. The results are works of great impact and charm, such as Unmade (2017), Between Solstice and Equinox (2016), The Long Forgetting (2015).
How I Forget You, is one of the most emblematic works of this particular visual poetics. Realized in 2017, it falls within the works focused on the theme of women and their way of emotional processing of separation. She speaks specifically of that intimate act, but basically natural and proper to everyone's experience, to cleansing one's body, washing it from any form of pain. This is an investigation, that of Ramoso, which starts from one’s own human exploration that can be extended to anyone who identifies with it. The goal clarified by the artist herself is to facilitate the process healing from pain, expressing herself in real and decoded language, immediate and free. Empathetic and complex – her works elicit an experience.”
Ramoso studied Painting at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, and Psychology at the Ateneo de Manila University, where she graduated cum laude. She taught Drawing, Design, Language, Theater and Dance at Miriam College, where she graduated valedictorian in high school.
Ramoso is founding partner and chief product designer of Quarkus, a product design studio creating innovative solutions through design thinking. She is a member of two art advocacy groups, Kababaihan sa Sining at Bagong Sibol na Kamalayan (Kasibulan) and Art Ventures and Advocacy Network (ARTVAN).
