Roderick Henares

Erick Henares is a Filipino contemporary visual artist whose work serves as a bridge between tradition and the transcendent. With a strong foundation in classical Flemish painting techniques, he creates works that explore metaphysical and spiritual themes — drawing on ideas of the divine, beyond, and what lies unseen. His art offers a meditative visual dialogue: pieces that are not merely viewed, but felt.

Artistic Style & Technique

Classical roots: Erick’s painting approach is heavily influenced by the Flemish tradition — rich layering, attention to detail, chiaroscuro, careful composition.

Modern sensibility: While grounded in classical technique, his work is not nostalgic pastiche. Instead, he blends those methods with a contemporary aesthetic, often incorporating symbolism, abstraction, or metaphysical motifs.

Spiritual / Metaphysical themes: Many works invite contemplation of invisibles — the divine, mystery, transcendence. There is a sense that beyond the visible form is something more profound.

Visual impact: His pieces balance beauty and weight: refined, elegant surfaces that also carry emotional or existential depth.
