Luis Rafael Galvez (b. 1986, Michoacan, Mexico) is an artist based in Chicago, IL whose work explores the intersection between personal narrative and cultural identity. Galvez's paintings offer a multifaceted perspective that challenges cultural hierarchies and reflects upon the ways in which cultural differences can lead to a sense of dislocation and disorientation.

Galvez's paintings feature figures painted in a neoclassical style, with exaggerated and otherworldly anatomy that creates a glimpse into a cinematic fantasy. These literary vignettes offer a vision is both deeply personal and informed by the lost-in-translation nature of postmodernism.
