Raphael Serrano Disla 

Raphael Serrano Disla is a painter and multidisciplinary artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. His work explores themes such as enculturation, immigrant experiences, the Caribbean, and the meaning of nature—both its overt and subtle aspects.

Despite the diversity in his work, Raphael is a self-taught artist who draws on emotional labor as a guiding influence.
