Raul Jorolan

Jorolan’s knack for storeytelling fused with his ability to imagine, draw and create visual narratives with touches of whimsy, twists and urban texture. His figurative paintings referenced 60s pop culture, music and comics, resplendent with colours and a happy vibe. Jorolan’s works are explorative and immersive and they thrive on their tightly packed all over composition.

Raul Jorolan has a degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Santo Tomas. He started his creative career as an illustrator and accessories designer for a premium luxury department store developing his eye and taste for fine lifestyle trends. Moving into advertising he towered as an art/creative director in the ad industry in the Philippines and Hong Kong. He ventured into film directing becoming one of the leading TV commercial film directors and has been so until the present. He has since directed a full length movie, music videos, corporate videos, documentaries and short films. The relentless artist spirit in residence beckoned him to paint. And he happily heeded the call, and how!

As a painter Raul Jorolan has an ongoing series called “POPSUEY”, an amalgam of POP Art and chopSUEY. It is a whimsical visual journey mixing different elements of pop culture, retro, history and a myriad of visual imaginings in lush color. Raul Jorolan, imagines it and paints it.
