Angela DelosReyes

Mixed-Media Artist & Marketing / Communications Professional

Mixed-media creative combining traditional and digital techniques to craft immersive, story-driven visual experiences. My practice is guided by curiosity, spontaneity, and maximalism, translating lived experiences, cultural narratives, and visual inspiration into layered work. Influences range from classic and contemporary fine artists to video games and visual novels. I value exploration and experimentation, letting the interplay of media shape the final piece.

I volunteer for Fil Fest USA, a non-profit organization whose goal is to promote Filipino and Filipino American culture through events and community engagement, as the design and media coordinator.
