ARTISTS
Md Saidur Rahman (Rafi)
I am Md Saidur Rahman, known as Rafi, a Bangladeshi multimedia artist and architectural designer based in the United States. My practice merges art and architecture to explore identity, displacement, memory, and cultural belonging.

My journey began in childhood, but it was deeply shaped by my move from Bangladesh to New York. Experiencing both loss and opportunity, I found in art a language to process transition and redefine the meaning of home. My work reflects the emotional weight of migration, the silence many people carry within them, and the resilience that emerges from struggle.

Working across multiple mediums, I create layered compositions that fuse tradition with contemporary form. I refuse to confine myself to one discipline, instead building visual dialogues between structure and emotion, space and story. Architecture shapes my understanding of dimension and environment, while fine art allows me to express what cannot be spoken.

Culture stands at the center of my practice. I seek to preserve heritage while challenging viewers to reconnect with their roots and shared humanity. Through art and design, I aim to build not only spaces but deeper understanding.

Md Saidur Rahman (Rafi) is available for private bookings

The two figures under the umbrella are intentionally small. To me, they represent the countless moments of companionship that o

This watercolor painting of Cowboy with Horse, is a classic Western figure of the relationship between a man and his horse. I used a photo by Anita Jones Bozich as a reference for this painting.

The California Trail Interpretive Center (west of Elko, NV) hosted a ?learn & paint? activity. The subject was owls. I began this piece during the hourlong class, then, finished later giving myself a little freedom to venture away from the exact lesson example. I?m fairly new to watercolor and wanted to focus on: edges (lost, soft, found, etc.) and the expressiveness of the bird?s face. I truly enjoyed the experience of being out, painting amongst other artists, and continue to attend their
