Roxas has stated that his love for art started at a young age, effectively guiding his practice all throughout his life. Relatively speaking, Roxas’ works are a far cry from the minimalist, abstract, and expressionist dispositions that are rampant in today’s contemporary art scene. Yet Roxas does not concern himself with the pressures of conformity. Instead, he is primarily concerned with what he wants to paint and express.
When probed about the place his works have in today's artistic culture he stated that “They’re a thing of the past. Yes, we can learn something from them. But it is useless to repeat the same thing over and over again. Copying them is insulting them. But to evolve from them is sign of deep gratitude and respect. About “high” art. There is no such thing as high or low in art. The word Art is enough! When someone says this is high-art, it means he /she is just measuring things, comparing things. That approach is discriminatory. It is a very egoistic approach.” (J.D.)","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"
