I’m a visual artist from the Dominican Republic, currently based in Philadelphia, USA. My relationship with art began in early childhood—as a natural form of curiosity and play—and evolved into a lifelong commitment. I pursued formal training at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, where I earned my degree in Fine arts.

Over the years, I’ve participated in numerous national and international exhibitions. In 2016, I presented my first solo show, marking the beginning of a deeper exploration into materials, techniques, and personal expression. My practice includes acrylics, oils, watercolors, and mixed media, always grounded in a desire to experiment and evolve.

My art is a living expression of my human experience—earthly and perhaps beyond. Each piece reflects an unconscious unveiling of my inner world, often revealing truths I hadn't yet discovered in myself. Through my work, I journey through the shadows of life’s most intense moments and emerge into spaces of light, hope, and faith.

Rox Francisco is an artist whose work explores the intersection of creativity and emotional healing.
Inspired by her own journey with mental health, she uses painting as a tool to express what often remains unspoken—especially in childhood. Her art is a reflection of resilience, awareness, and the urgent need to talk about emotional well-being from an early age.

Through vibrant textures and symbolic imagery, Rox creates pieces that not only invite introspection, but also act as a gentle call to collective healing. Her mission is to make mental health visible, to remind us that art can be both a mirror and a medicine.

In addition to her studio practice, Rox is passionate about using art as a tool for social impact. She advocates for early emotional education and mental health visibility through creative expression. Whether through original canvases, custom objects, or art-based products,

Rooted in her personal journey with mental health, Rox creates expressive, symbolic pieces that explore resilience, childhood emotions, and the silent struggles many people carry—especially children. Her paintings are windows into the unseen, reflecting internal experiences that are often hard to name.
Over the past few years, Rox has shared her art through online exhibitions, print collections, and custom pieces, using digital platforms to connect with a growing international audience. Her work has resonated deeply with people seeking meaning, healing, and awareness through visual storytelling.

Inspiration comes from everywhere: from the tiniest microorganism to the complexity of the human body. Creating art is my purest connection to the soul—a sacred space where I meet myself with honesty, without asking permission. It is not just something I do; it is who I am.
