Rafael Pereda is a self-taught artist from Peru.  He has been living in The United States for 20 years and has found residence in Maui, Hi the past 7 years.  Rafael believes in painting from inspiration.  He still travels internationally, but has found that on Maui there is a certain magic that has inspired him to settle in and dedicate his time to art.  Rafael has become known for his beautiful paintings of native flowers and Maui sunsets.  He has also expanded his repertoire of artwork to include sea turtles, waves and sailboats.
 
Gallery Rafael currently has a quaint gallery located on Front St. in Lahaina Town.  Lahaina is historic for being a whaler's town and is now becoming "artist central" on the island.  If you are in search of that perfect original painting that will bring you the magic of the islands, Gallery Rafael is the place to be.  Enjoy visiting our website or come visit us in person and see the artist in action as he paints a piece of magical art just for you.
