I am so excited about a special art show that I had at Artel Gallery in Pensacola Florida during the month of March.
“Walk into the alcove and discover a journey that will challenge your perception of the world. Rafi has created a special art exhibit that explores the mind, and challenges certain ideas about self, and the awareness of who we believe to be. This small, yet powerful collection will propel you through your thoughts and beg to ask the question “Who Am I?”
I also featured my poetry for the first time ever at the show, which was slightly terrifying. Luckily, the show was received very well, and was a great success.

There was an acoustic performance by the amazing band Dinosaur Daze and fantastic food by Monica Gaskins. The show was hosted by Marty Campbell Gallery in Downtown Pensacola.
I’ve always been very fascinated by the concept of right now. That fleeting moment that takes place inside your mind, it dictates how you feel and what you think about. The show exhibited a body of work that was a study of the various emotions that can exist in the fleeting moment of right now.
“Art is such a great representation of the relative nature of the concept of time. Because the experience takes place in the viewers mind, it is not something that can actually be shared. Things will sow down when you get absorbed by the colors, texture and the subject of a piece of art, if it triggers an emotion response that is personal in nature. Yet, nothing will happen to the flow of time if the piece doesn’t speak to you in any way, you simply move on to the next.” – Rafi Perez
