About the artist

Rafael Serrano

I come from a family of medical doctors and scientists and a few artists too. I landed in LA when I was 12 years old directly from Cuba, but my parents are Spanish. And though I’ve traveled the world, I have lived in LA ever since.

I remember wanting to be a painter since I was little, much encouraged by my father who thought science was not my calling but was rather impressed by my artistic endeavors and talent.

I have an MFA from Otis College of Art and Design and have exhibited my work internationally. I consider myself mostly a visual poet though I also write. I am preoccupied with the SOUL of humanity and the inner workings of the mind enhanced by a poetic vision.
