ARTIST STATEMENT

In Elías Rafful's intricate canvas, art becomes a sacred expression that transcends the limits of the earthly, standing as a bridge to our divine essence. His creativity not only connects us with the uniqueness of each being, but also invites us to deep reflection on the interconnection between art and geometry.

​The circle, a sacred symbol in Rafful's work, takes on a philosophical dimension. This element, a reflection of duality in unity, embodies the harmony and totality present in the cosmos and in the human experience. The three interlocking circles, representing the body, soul and spirit, transcend mere aesthetics to establish a philosophical dialogue about the immutable connection between matter and spirituality.

​Elías' mastery of the color palette, his ability to skillfully combine them, and the ingenious use of recycled materials are not only artistic manifestations, but also philosophical tools. Each chromatic choice and each recycled material incorporate layers of meaning, serving as metaphors for cosmic diversity and the symbiotic relationship between man and his environment.

​Thus, Elías Rafful's work is revealed as a deep philosophical exploration, an intellectual journey that goes beyond mere visual appreciation. By immersing ourselves in this creation, we are faced not only with a window into beauty, harmony and balance, but also with a philosophical discourse that awakens reflection on our connection with the essence of being and the wonder of the universe.

Born in picturesque Teziutlán, Puebla, and with roots that proudly intertwine Mexican and Lebanese, I present myself as a visual artist and graphic designer passionate about the convergence between the traditional and the digital.

​My training reaches its peak with obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design at the Universidad Iberoamericana, and I have the solid support of more than two decades of experience. My innovative approach was born from the combination of traditional design techniques with the latest digital trends. A method that draws on the rich heritage of traditional printing systems, brilliantly adapting them to digital language.

​In my creative evolution, I immerse myself in an exciting process of integration, fusing my work with organic elements, guided by nature as an omnipresent source of inspiration. I explore the synergy between analog and digital, challenging conventions with works that transcend creative boundaries.

My presence in the artistic scene is based not only on experience and training, but also on constant adaptability and the search for new expressive forms.
