FOTM is proud to kick off its 25th Anniversary in a new venue in partnership with the Museum of Ventura County. The first Artist Spotlight interview will feature Rafael Perea de la Cabada,
a multi-disciplinary artist whose work is steeped in the artist’s rich
cultural heritage. The artist describes himself as a visual poet,
offering a powerful dialog that resonates with the plight of humanity.
His intuitive approach draws from his personal experience, incorporating
deep narratives layered in symbolism. Concepts range the gamut of human
experience, from humorous and playful to social and political
discourse. Perea states, “Art for me has a transformative power, a
delicate volatility that triggers our craving for a deeper perceptual
level. I find art making an endless mystery, a choice and a calling.”
Perea received a degree from the National School of Painting, Sculpture
and Printmaking in his native Mexico City before earning his M.F.A. from UCSB.
His broad range of expression includes painting, printmaking, mixed
media, installation, public art and sculpture. With a foundation in
Mexican modernism, he pursues his work as “a seamless merging of the
mental/emotional intent, [where] the physical process and craft
converge.” He shares his vast knowledge as a professor of drawing and
painting at Santa Barbara City College.
His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is
included in numerous prestigious public and private collections.
