Roehl Acosta
Automobiles and custom automotive culture captivated the attention and imagination of industrial designer, sculptor and fine artist, Roehl Acosta from a young age.
Before emigrating to the United States, Roehl studied fine arts, majoring in industrial design in the Phillippines. After completing his studies, he proceeded to become a masterful self-taught metal worker. He studied the intricacies of the craft meticulously and applied the same rigour and passion for knowledge in the production of his work.
When viewing Roehl’s work, his training and passion for contemporary design are evident. Architectural geometric forms of various materials harmoniously intersect and interact with bold planes of colour. The result is stark yet beautiful and unapologetically modern.
“My background as an industrial designer has provided me with knowledge and access to materials not commonly used in sculpture, and this assists in giving my work its distinct aesthetic.”
Since emigrating to the United States, Roehl has received numerous awards for his work. He continues to expand his knowledge of his craft and is actively producing progressive 3D artwork from his studio in Wellington, Florida.
