Diego Rafael

Known as Diego’s Vision, is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work pulses with raw energy and unapologetic color. Blending the language of street art with pop culture nostalgia, his canvases explode with neon hues, bold outlines, and playful yet powerful imagery.

From pixelated icons to reimagined portraits of animals and heroes, Diego transforms the familiar into something surreal and electrifying. Each piece carries the essence of graffiti culture—spray drips, tags, and contrasts that reflect both chaos and beauty.

What fuels his passion isn’t just the art itself but the community it inspires. Diego is always seeking ways to bring artists together—whether through collaborations, shows, or simply creating spaces where creativity can thrive. For him, art is a shared vision, and every canvas is also an invitation to connect.
