Rafael, born in France in 1968, creates paintings that draw from both classical techniques and contemporary approaches. Educated at the École du Louvre and experienced in the restoration workshops of national museums, he applies his expertise in supports, pigments, antique papers, and traditional methods directly into his practice. His work often features painting, gilding, and careful finishing, resulting in compositions that balance figuration and poetic abstraction. Working across canvas, paper, and at times outdoors, Rafael’s art is grounded in technical precision while expressing themes of renewal, memory, and an attentiveness to nature.
