Born in 1943, Dominican artist Rafael Morla is celebrated for his vibrant, nature-inspired artistry. Untrained yet innately skilled, Morla credits his artistic talent to divine inspiration. Living in La Romana, his colorful home doubles as his art studio, surrounded by his large family who partake in his artistic journey. Morla uses wood and paint to create radiant depictions of the natural world, resonating with a wide array of patrons, from local villa owners to international corporations. His artwork, featured in multiple Dominican galleries, enjoys international recognition, having graced exhibitions from Connecticut to Florida since 1987. Galerie Bonheur, a longstanding supporter of Morla's work, continues to acquire his pieces directly from his studio, reinforcing their admiration for his unique talent. His contributions to the Dominican art scene are recognized in numerous local publications, enhancing his visibility to art lovers worldwide. Despite his fame, Morla remains a humble and devout artist, continually thankful for his God-given ability to create joyous, brilliant works.
