"Once Arts 3-d Art by Rafael Espitia:
Last month we spoke highly about Rafael Espitia’s 3-d Paintings at Once Art Gallery. In fact one of his pieces made the cover of that month’s Best of Wynwood Art Walk post. His remarkable, conversation sparking art work is still on view @ Once Gallery."

Rafael Espitia Interview, Telecaribe Channel, March 29th 2012
BEST OF WYNWOOD ART WALK MARCH 2012
ONCE gallery had an interesting set of 3-D paintings by Miami-based artist Rafael Espitia. Even with out the 3-D glasses the art work has the illusion of dimension. We caught up there with Kiki Valdez who was down from New York and up dated us on his venture with Ozine. PanAmerica Artprojects still had the Erotic Show from last month. (advice: don’t enter the room to the far right. YIKES!!!) Finally, Peter Santa- Maria’s politically charged art was among the highlights.

EL PLANETA NEWSPAPER. Cartagena May 23th, 2011
Rafael Espitia es un reconocido pintor cartagenaero por sus murales, premios y gran trayectoria en la pintura. Es un artista que se deja seducir por la coquetería de los movimientos, las curvas bien definidas de sus musas y las miradas enigmáticas de sus pícaras mujeres.
En su pintura refleja una alta sensibilidad hacia la belleza del cuerpo femenino, y se deja seducir de sus gestos y actitudes.....

Second Saturday ART WALK NOVEMBER: The Highlights
Area 23 also impressed with their arsenal of super-expressive Latin American work. They showed five artists and the pure white lighting in the joint is always great.
