Rhaz Oriente (b. 1992) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Manila whose work explores light, memory, time, and perception through spatial and material interventions. Her practice engages with reflective and transparent materials—such as glass, acrylic, gradients, and image-based surfaces to examine how light shapes what we see, feel, and remember. Often minimal and quiet in form, her works respond to their environment, subtly shifting with light, movement, or the viewer’s presence.
Her process blends slow looking, emotional grounding, and intuitive research—drawing from personal encounters, spatial shifts, and the way light marks time and place. She is curious about how we relate to the moments and spaces we move through, and what remains after something passes. Light, in her work, is not a medium but a condition something that reveals, flickers, softens, or leaves.
She has exhibited at MO_Space, Finale Art File, West Gallery, and Balai Seni Maybank in Kuala Lumpur. Her work has been featured in BusinessWorld, Cartellino, and SPOT.ph.
