Rachel Rivera is a multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, Canada.

Her practice centers on painting as a way of translating inner landscapes — emotional, atmospheric, and intuitive — into visual form. Working primarily with colour, Rivera creates environments that feel suspended between the natural and the imagined.

​

Raised between the Philippines and Canada, her visual language is shaped by contrasting geographies: tropical density, mountain stillness, and coastal light. Rather than depicting specific places, her work explores how landscapes are remembered, felt, and internalized. Colour becomes a conduit for emotion; forms shift between abstraction and suggestion; figures and symbols appear as quiet presences rather than narratives.

​

Rivera’s paintings exist within an expanded universe she calls Radcastle — a conceptual world where recurring motifs, symbolic figures, and future collectible objects emerge as extensions of the same visual language. These elements are not separate from the paintings, but evolve alongside them, carrying the same emotional and chromatic sensibility.

​

Her work invites a slower way of looking — one rooted in atmosphere, intuition, and resonance rather than explanation. Each piece functions as a portal into a heightened natural state, where the familiar feels slightly unreal and the unseen becomes perceptible.

Rachel Rivera has exhibited work internationally and continues to develop Radcastle as a cohesive fine-art practice spanning painting, objects, and narrative forms.
