About Rafif

I found comfort at the age of eight when I discovered my ability to draw objects and cartoon characters. By the age of fifteen, I began painting garden scenes using oil paintings on canvas - where I became familiar with mixing & blending colors together.
Finally, I knew that art is my passion and love.

I majored in Graphic Design because I was able to easily communicate with the crowd through digital art on social media, and by sharing the purpose behind my art work to the entire world.

During which, I took a basic photography course that caught my interest. I found myself amused and anxious to learn more. Portraits of people, their emotions and expressions - showed me individuals from a unique and aware perspective. Ever since, I couldn't stop taking pictures everywhere I go.

After, I began applying body paint and making my models look camera ready for the shoot. Then I furthered my learning experience in makeup artistry to be able to create a character for a specific scenario, in order to have the best looking results and then be able to edit pictures, add layers and illustrations to it if needed.

This gave me a final understanding of what I wanted to focus on after all.
Therefore, I immersed my personal overall passion for Makeup, Photography, and Graphics.
I am doing my best to enhance my skills as well as make my contribution to the art in itself.

And now, I feel that I am able to express crazy ideas I forever had in mind and always aim to send a message through my art to tell a story, realistic or unrealistic. In conclusion, all that matters is that the art piece can take us far and beyond.
