A seasoned creator, self taught artist and live painter at Shambhala music festival, Raphael turns doodles into vibrant kaleidoscopes of color. His work is psychedelic and flowing, blurring the lines between imagination and reality. One usually discovers unique, immersive thickets in Akiba's creations, teeming with fauna, flora and magical beings.
