Rafael Dussan is a Colombian artist with over thirty years of practice. With a background in philosophy, theology and psychology, he trained in visual arts in Bogotá, Paris and Milan. Drawing is central to his exploration of the body, nature and the human condition, including the colonial history of Colombia and Latin America. His ties to Cartagena de Indias extend to its artistic and literary circles, where he formed friendships with figures such as Alejandro Obregón and Gabriel García Márquez.

He has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art of Cartagena, the Museo Santa Clara in Bogotá, the Museo dei Bozzetti in Italy and ACC Galerie in Weimar. His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Historical Museum of Cartagena, as well as private collections across the Americas and Europe.
