Much of his muse and exposure to art began in Europe, where he visited all the great art spaces and museums. An avid world traveller, Rafiee Ghani’s works are often intriguing, whether still life, landscapes or figuratives, for he has been to the most inhospitable and remote of places, and in places and countries that few ever heard of.
A busy, combustion of colours takes place in this painting, illustrating various geometrical shapes and forms. His works are known for their loud and dynamic colours and brush strokes where his Intimism styles are very well established. Aesthetics form an important part of Rafiee’s paintings where he uses balance and composition to their fullest potential, often producing artwork, which are both aesthetically pleasing and artistic.
