Rafael R. Pelissari is a poet, musician, plastic artist and bookmaker. Born in São Paulo - Brazil, Rafael has a degree in electrical engineering from Mackenzie Presbyterian University. From a very young age, he always showed interest in different types of art.
In the visual arts, Rafael has always sought improvisation, "action painting", art that flows directly and without necessarily relying on sketches and execution planning. As an adherent of the concept originating from the great Indian philosophies, "Samadhi", tuned silence, painting almost as a kind of meditation, a concept also widely applied in the origins of "Shuimohua" (水墨畫), a Chinese painting technique that is most widespread in the West for its Japanese version, Sumi-ê.
Over the years, Rafael developed his own style of artistic expression moving through different forms of expression having delved into woodcuts, woodcut printings, paintings with acrylic paint, charcoal and pastel on the most varied supports - canvas, paper, wall, fabric, etc.
He currently resides in São Paulo where he produces all his art work in his private studio.
