About the Artwork

    Reflected lights as they glisten on the rocks, the shallow streams

    The flow of the water that smoothen out the edges of the little stones over time

    This reminds me of hours of playing by the sand and the shore when the tide is shallow, but you can still enjoy the waters on the rocks, the little streams reflecting the sun. 

    Broad brushstrokes paired with a subdued palette and soft contrasts evoke a calming connection to nature, with the serene depiction of flowing water and scattered rocks enhancing a tranquil and reflective mood.

    Roselle Manalastas
    Candaba, Philippines

    Roselle has 47 artworks,
    and is available for
    commissioned work.

    Roselle has been drawing—her first love--ever since she could hold a pencil. Growing up, she has joined several poster-making contests and became a cartoonist in her school paper. Drawing always has been in the background, but it was pushed back as she ventured into the field of analytics (She graduated BS Statistics from the University of the Philippines-Diliman).

    In 2018, she turned to painting to cope with a pregnancy loss. At the time, painting was her escape, a way to grieve. Since then, she has never stopped painting, especially during the pandemic. Painting serves as her means to recharge, rest, and practice self-care.

    She is fond of painting landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, and florals in impressionistic style. She particularly loves acrylic because it provides the flexibility and the kind of pace she was looking for in a medium. She is drawn to the contrast of light and dark in her compositions.

    Each painting is an idea, a feeling, or even a dream realized into something tangible using brush strokes and a combination of colors. Likewise, it can also evoke different feelings: a sense of calm, peace, or hope, or any emotion that cannot be expressed in words. To someone who appreciates it, it may or may not have meaning. After all, it is fluid, dynamic, and ever-changing.
