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

Illustration is my favourite style of painting. I did this one just for fun. That?s why it?s the tile of the artwork. Would love to illustrate children?s books. I paint just as a hobby though.

Beautiful early summer sunset. Particular love the dark cityscape as the backdrop. The sharp contrast made it a perfect inspiration for painting.
