Isah Rodillo

Isah Rodillo began working with pyrography or wood burning in 2018. It was her first beloved art form. She used a pyrography tool to burn slabs of hardwood, creating images of people, animals, and stunning landscapes. Transitioning to working with acrylic paints, she now expresses her love for joyful life through vibrant colors in fluid art.

Perfecting the art of color combination and creating mysterious cells is an ongoing study and practice for her. Her background in Chemistry has provided a foundation for experimenting with additives and various paint densities, enhancing fluid art beyond mere color pouring. Whether blown, swiped, or spun, she meticulously prepares and mixes her paints to achieve the perfect consistency, resulting in mesmerizing designs.

Isah was selected as one of the finalists for the 2022 GSIS Art Competition in the Non-representational category, and she secured third place in the 2024 Sining Filipina National Art Competition's Non-Figurative Category. She was also featured in the book "Philippine Modernism" and "The AAP Book Vol. 1," collections showcasing established and emerging Filipino artists. Furthermore, she was highlighted as one of the artists in the April 2023 issue of Daloy Likha Culture and Arts for the Global Filipino Magazine.

Her artwork has been exhibited in prestigious venues such as Museo Orlina, where she showcased her pieces. Isah's first solo exhibition took place at 15square Art Space, and her second is currently on display at Tawid Gallery on Shambala Silang. She has participated in various events including the Autumn Art Fair in Birmingham, UK, the Zonta Art Exhibit at Power Plant Mall in Rockwell Center Makati and Grand Hyatt BGC, as well as the Visayan Art Fair 2023 and Manila Bang 2023, alongside numerous group exhibitions both within and outside Metro Manila.
