Rafael Maria

Contemporary artist and designer, working at the cutting edge of art, science and technology, his creative thought synthesizes aesthetic and analytical methods, becoming catalysts for innovation and the foundation for accelerating learning.
Each experiment becomes a document which registers the mysterious scenarios that occur in the continuous time, space, matter and energy along a sequence of events, choices, and decisions generated by the initial, specific, finite and fragment reality; his artwork process involves chaos, causality, iteration and order, all them interacting in complex relations of image, sign, interpretation and meaning.

His paintings reflect a constant pursuit for spirituality and openness to intuitive response, their structure founds on the relation between solid and void, line and surface, colour and tone, rest and movement.

With this epistemic methodology, learning, intelligence, creativity, culture and ethics, are linked to explore and design sustainable strategies for the complexity.

Born in Mexico City (1954) where he attended the Faculty of Industrial Design at the Universidad Iberoamericana.
Afterwards moved to London to continue his studies at the Central School of Art and Design.
His Art interest led him on a journey through Spain, Italy, France and Germany.

To expand this process, he travelled to Southern California where he began his research work at the intersection of art, science and technology.
He currently lives and works in the Yucatan peninsula, alternating periods of study and research with the simplicity of family life.
