About the Artist:
raphaella “raph” brice
pronouns: she/they
RAPH DRAWS is a self-taught, queer, Haitian-American digital illustrator and muralist. source created them with a dash of glitter, salt, jiwof (“cloves” in creole), sky miles, joy, sassy twitter fingers, disco fever, and a heaping amount of passionate, creative-cosmic energy. they identify as a “creative midwife” — they bring their digital pieces to the physical using prototyping tools, such as laser and vinyl cutter machine.
They describe her style as “cultural-psychedelic” — where culture meets the surrealism of her inner and outer expression of the world. drawing knowledge from their Haitian-catholic background, their art celebrates the human consciousness shift that is currently happening in the world today. in a time where the pandemic revealed faults in the system, the art they create draws from cultural, spiritual, & mystical references while using exuberant color palettes to create timeless visual stories.
the goal of our pieces is to liberate the collective black experience & honor oneness — a dream we collectively aspire towards yet are distracted by the polarities of human life.
