Isa Lorenzo founded Silverlens Galleries in Manila in 2004. She was joined three years later by co-Director Rachel Rillo. Together they built an innovative gallery program in Manila and on the global art fair circuit. After partnering with galleries around the world for several years, Lorenzo and Rillo discovered they were seeing significant traffic to their website and social media from the United States. There was also serious interest from curators about their artists. The team opened in the heart of New York's Chelsea this autumn a space where they hope to show their international stable of artists and use the gallery as a site of collaborations.
