RAFAEL BARON (Brazil) | Fernanda, 2021 | Acrylic, collage, faux leather, 120×110 cm

Rafael BARON (b. 1986, Brazil)

In all of Rafael Baron's paintings, the faces depicted are almost identical: with a difficult expression to understand, large, puffy lips, and dark, almost closed eyes. The subject's personality is not defined by facial features, but by vivid, diverse clothing, hairstyles, accessories, and skin tones. In Rafael Baron's opinion, art is an effective tool that can contribute to the creation of a harmonious community, promoting open dialogue about tolerance and societal diversity.
