Engaging every customer touchpoint with one memorable message ensures a clear brand image in the minds of the market.

He is the second of five children, three of them born after his family relocated to Sacramento in 1984. His parents owned and operated a gallery and custom frame business while he was a child, and Raphael spent much time there drawing and daydreaming. He was raised in rural Orangevale, but his adolescent summers were spent working with his maternal grandfather delivering fresh eggs in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Each summer he worked 8 hour days and quietly studied the vibrant murals and burgeoning street art scene of the eighties and early nineties. Raphael produced and parted ways with several bodies of work throughout high school, although his attention was mainly focused on wrestling and football. During his senior year, his first set of high quality oil paints and brushes were graciously donated to him, which officially ended his athletic career. While attending Fullerton College, he became fascinated with the principals of cubism, surrealism, and abstract expressionism, as well as interested in physics and biology. In 2001 his first art exhibition was held and his work was infused with much of these principals. Later, at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he would further explore cubism and also begin printmaking. He was featured in several art festivals and student shows. In a fifth floor studio hovering over San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, he bartended and lived alone for three years while he created his “String Theory” method and “Scraped Drawing” technique. In 2005, he suffered a devastating loss when his entire body of academic work, along with several dozen paintings, were unjustly destroyed and egregiously stolen by his landlords while he was out of town. Utterly devastated and with only a few surviving pieces, he moved back to Sacramento and was back at square one. In 2006 he was vindicated in court and he opened up his own private art studio and gallery, which he operated from 2006 –2010. Currently living and working in Sacramento, Raphael has become a leading regional abstractionist and was recently named the Arts & Business Council’s “Artist of the Year” in 2010, largely due to his Crayons to Canvas Art Supply Drive. His unique artwork is included in numerous private collections throughout the United States, and he maintains and satisfies a very loyal collector base in Sacramento. He is an ardent believer in the effectiveness of art therapy for kids and positive sense of self worth it brings to children , so he often donates his work to benefit such organizations as The Stanford Home for Children, Susan G. Komen Foundation, and KVIE. His current work is a departure from his cubist figures and portraits. Depopulated, his new geometric jewel-like paintings are active and imagined interior spaces, in which light, mass, energy, distance, force, and velocity are expressed abstractly using clearly delineated angular shapes, atmospheric drizzles of paint , and vibrant colors paired with weighty neutrals. Both perplexing and beautiful, his churning images are unmistakably urban and constructed with a combination of lyrical line work and bold painterly planes. Alluding also to geological and organic imagery, transfixed trails of paint fall somewhere between bursting shards of color, streaming directional trails, flat planes, and the infinite distance. The image created is one that is at once chaotic, but well organized, futuristic yet familiar. Raphael Delgado was born in Oxnard, California in 1981.

I became experienced in drafting techniques, learned modeling programs such as AutoCAD and solid works, and gained extensive experience in a full sized woodshop. I started classes in Architecture at Cosumnes River College where I also competed in the Cal Poly Design Village 2007 and 2008 Competition for which I received a 1st place award (2007) and a 3rd place award (2008). While at UC Berkeley I was able to spend more time in a woodshop designing and building projects out of wood, steel, and concrete. I was also leader of a seven-person team working with Cal Habitat for Humanity that designed and built storage units for a transition home in Berkeley, CA. We kept this project green by using sustainable material and practices. After graduating from Berkeley in 2010 with a BA in Architecture, I was given the opportunity to go to Houma, Louisiana to help build a house from the ground up. I worked side by side with the contractor experiencing all aspects of building a home. From foundation to trim work, our team of 4 finished the house in 2 months. Located in Sacramento, CA, I now follow my passion for Architecture and Design by design-building small projects from picture frames, lighting, furniture, to room remodels. I am always up for new challenges in style and material. If you have any ideas you need help bringing to life, please let me know! Scott A.
