Blue Tone Painting

"In the beginning the Universe was intention...""¨ RAFAEL MARIA is a self-taught, contemporary artist and designer propelling innovation in the cutting edge of art, science, design and technology, his creative thought synthesizes esthetic and analytical methods, becoming a catalyst for innovation and the basis for accelerating learning. Every experiment is a document about the mysterious scenarios that occur in the continuous of time, space and light and the result of a chain of events, choices, and decisions generated by the initial, specific, finite and fragment reality; this process manages chaos, causality, iteration and order, all them interacting in the complex relations of image, language, communication and meaning. His paintings reflect a constant pursuit of enlightenment and openness to intuitive response, their structure is founded on the interaction between the solid and void, line and surface, color and tone, movement and equilibrium. A believer in the artist's ability to create a dialog through each image, he is continually intrigued by the convergence of the art and the observer. Among several public and private art commissions he has been awarded are: "¢ BANCOMER BBVA "¢ BANCO SANTANDER "¢ TOYOTA "¢ HYATT REGENCY "¢ LUFTHANSA "¨ Born in México City (1954), he lived for a time in London, Italy, France, California and Baja California. "¨Since 1980 he resides in the peninsula of Yucatán, where the spiritual beauty found in the nearby Mayan Rain Forest and the love of his family feeds his research and creative work. "¨
