Raki

RAF Page works as RAKI, making illustrations that feel like storybook spreads enlarged to wall scale. The palette stays warm and the characters slightly toy-like, sitting somewhere between myth and play. The work has appeared around Bangkok and in Southeast Asian illustration festivals.

Raki, also known as Raf Page, is a visual artist and architect from Laguna, Philippines. His work blends nostalgia with modern design, using bold colors, simple forms, and familiar characters to create pieces that feel both immediate and deeply personal. At the core of his practice is a focus on memory and identity. Rather than depicting specific moments, Raki captures the feeling of them. His characters often exist in a quiet, reflective space, somewhere between past and present, where emotion is subtle but persistent. His style is intentionally reduced. He strips away unnecessary detail to focus on what matters most. Shape, color, and expression. This clarity gives his work a strong visual presence while allowing space for interpretation. Influenced by 80s and 90s anime and Asian pop culture, Raki transforms these references into a contemporary visual language that is distinctly his own.
