Barrios

Rafael Barrios, an American-Venezuelan artist born on November 22, 1947, in Baton Rouge, LA, is renowned for his expansive public sculptures, heavily influenced by Alexander Calder. These vibrant, gravity-defying metal forms resonate with colorful geometry. Emphasizing the importance of an audience, Barrios believes art thrives when shared publicly. Raised in Venezuela and educated at New York University, he now operates between Miami, FL, and Caracas, Venezuela. His works grace notable collections including the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Caracas and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
