DEEP BREATH Peinture par Rafael Vera

Rafael Vera was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He completed his Business degree at Universidad Metropolitana. The early stages of his professional life were developed in the fields of management. Always with an attraction and special interest for architecture and the arts in general.

He moves to Miami, and it is there where he begins to focus on his artistic concerns by studying and rehearsing with different materials. He completed his Fine Woodworking studies. He began in the creation of structures for the construction, then in the design and elaboration of functional furniture. All this ended up evolving in the use of wood and industrial materials for the conjugation of forms and textures in works of art. He finalized his courses of Art of Colors by the end of 2010.

Rafael does not like labels, however, he claims to be identified with minimalist movement and tendencies, always seeking in simplicity an almost perfect balance between space and form. Both monochrome works and those with variations of colors seek to create a synergy between lights and shadows where the three-dimensional shape and reliefs converge visually to accomplish affinity and harmony.

He uses wood and its derivatives as the main basis for his work, adding different materials and colors to achieve an integral fusion of elements.

Rafael insists that his work has nothing hidden, is what is observed. It seeks to offer spaces that allow the viewer to experience feelings of peace and serenity.

"I only wish at the end of each day, to have achieved with my creation, to transmit to just one person the love and passion I feel for what I do"
