About the Artist

Darold Ramelb is a self-taught acrylic and watercolor artist based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi who immigrated to Oʻahu with his family from the Illocos region of the Philippines in 1994. He pulls a lot of his inspirations from past experiences that are deeply rooted in his heritage while also fusing contemporary design, illustration, and his love of folk art. This lends his body of work a sense of foreign surrealism which at times feel oddly familiar. 

His unique style has landed him several Best In Show awards from the Hawaiʻi Watercolor Society in 2022, 2023, and 2024. He also had a piece chosen by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) as part of their Arts in Public Places Collection and Accession exhibit at the Hawaiʻi State Museum in 2022 and 2023. Most recently chosen for Artist of Hawaii in 2024.  Meanwhile also participating in numerous group shows around Honolulu with MORI, Manini Gallery, and Cedar Street Gallery.

Through his mediums, he brings stories, teachings, and experiences to life on canvas, which would otherwise be challenging to express verbally. I often sparks dialogue that is shared and perpetuated, much like how cultures have passed down stories from generation to generation. The symbolic representations within his art are often deliberate, yet at times, they occur unintentionally, leaving it up to the viewer’s interpretation.

Despite having restarted his journey only several years ago, he is determined to continuously refine his craft and present his art to the world through a range of forthcoming art exhibitions, competitions, and other opportunities.
