About the Item
Rizaldy Celi Jr. (American, Filipino-Vietnamese, born 1983)
"Children of Pride" 2024
Oil paint, Varnish, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the back of the painting.
"Children of Pride" by Rizaldy is not only a stunning visual experience but also the result of a profound artistic journey that began in 2023 at the De Young Museum. It was here that the owner of the gallery first encountered Rizaldy’s work, specifically his piece "Stages of Grief." The gallery owner was immediately struck by Rizaldy’s ability to render women as complex emotions, each stage of grief vividly brought to life in a deeply intimate and compelling manner. The emotional depth and technical mastery in "Stages of Grief" left an indelible impression, and the owner knew immediately that this was an artist with immense potential.
After signing Rizaldy to the gallery, the owner, eager to collaborate further, asked the artist to tackle an ambitious commission: The Seven Deadly Sins. But Rizaldy’s response was unexpected. After conducting thorough research into the nature of sin and humanity’s deepest flaws, Rizaldy returned with a radical perspective—“I don’t think there are seven deadly sins. I think it is just pride and her children. Pride is the root of all sin.” With this revelation, the concept for "Children of Pride" was born.
In this powerful piece, Pride herself is depicted as the central figure, her commanding presence surrounded by the sins that emanate from her: envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, and pride’s insatiable offspring. The ethereal and religious tones in the composition serve to elevate Pride to a divine status, emphasizing the destructive force she wields over human nature.

Rizaldy Celi Jr. (b. 1983, California, USA) is a transformative figure in contemporary art, whose journey through personal redemption has shaped his vibrant and emotive large-scale mixed-media works. Within just five years, Rizaldy has achieved considerable acclaim, with notable exhibitions like 'Stages of Grief' at The De Young Museum and representation at the San Francisco Art Fair '24 by The American Art Gallery. Initially driven by a need to process complex personal emotions, Rizaldy’s work offers a profound insight into the human condition. His pieces, often beginning as intimate self-explorations, have struck a chord with audiences, allowing them to resonate with his candid explorations of love and despair. Rizaldy characterizes his work as a skillful blend of Baroque aesthetics and contemporary sensibilities, drawing profound inspiration from the timeless techniques of Old Masters like Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Rubens. Transitioning from photography to painting, he has embraced the tactile qualities of oil and acrylic paints to better express these themes. Rizaldy values the patience required in painting, a contrast to his earlier work in film and photography, where collaboration sometimes hindered his creative autonomy. Now, his paintings often find a place in the intimate setting of home décor, reflecting his preference for personal connection over commercial visibility. Rizaldy's professional and creative evolution is a testament to his belief in hope and the transformative power of accepting responsibility for one’s happiness and creative expression. His works are not only artistic but also deeply personal, inviting viewers to engage in a shared emotional experience. While his paintings often explore universal human conditions, they are imbued with Rizaldy's journey of redemption, resilience, and self-discovery. Many of his pieces now grace private collections and intimate spaces, reflecting his belief in art’s ability to forge personal connections beyond commercial galleries. A self-taught artist, Rizaldy’s evolution underscores his commitment to growth, hope, and authenticity. Each work he creates is an original, one-of-a-kind piece that carries a part of his story—a testament to the transformative power of art.
