Raymundo Rafael painting in his studio.
Erre con erre Raymundo. Erre con erre Rafael.

Erre con erre Raymundo.
Erre con erre Rafael.

Retrata recuerdos, rincones, rituales y realidades rotas
que regresan revestidas de sueño.

Mexico, in him, is not a subject.
It is a temperature.

It is not an aesthetic cage.
It is the emotional language from which he dreams.

Mexico is merely the vessel — not one that contains him, but one from which his imagination overflows into every visual form.

And overflow is the correct word.

Everything in his work spills beyond its borders.
