Today, Rafael Ricardo Vásquez’s work unfolds in the intimacy of his studio, where he explores deeply personal artistic proposals. This phase marks a break from nearly 20 years of street art, focusing instead on a pictorial language that prioritizes expressive freedom and abstract gestures.

Although his trajectory is marked by the relationship between graffiti and canvas painting, his current approach transcends these forms to interpret emotional landscapes inspired by memories and personal experiences. Influenced by New York graffiti, North American expressionism, and the abstract vanguards of the 20th century, Vásquez employs bold brushstrokes, textures, and abstract compositions as fundamental elements to connect emotion with matter. In this stage, painting becomes both a means of introspection and a bridge of communication with the viewer, allowing the works to speak for themselves, free from concrete images or predefined forms.
