“As an artist and human, I strive to make my life a portal to the infinite—a harmonious gateway to the collective consciousness. Immersing myself in art-making since I was very young, I have created magnificent friends and vivid experiences to share for forever. Flowing with the journey as the reward has led to expressions with large-scale artworks, learning our world and helping people across the globe. My natural passion, curiosity in my craft, trust in the process, and enthusiasm for exploration, inspire me to continue cultivating my impact and community. Through both living and art-making, I move with the intention to inspire love over fear and radiate the energetic undeniable beauty that we are all connected—that We Are One. By sharing with others, embracing interactions of oneness, I aim to invoke visceral responses of love and freedom as I navigate a fulfilling life on Earth and beyond.”

- Rey Jaffet

 

Born and raised in Miami, surrounded by diverse cultures inside a city of bold character, Jaffet’s playful spirit poured into art. His works explore mediums from stainless steel, fire, laser modules, lighting systems, oils, acrylics, aerosol, inks, and other mixed media to create dynamic experiences encompassing parallels of boundless movement and elevated stillness.

Jaffet has been an active participant in Art Basel Miami since 2011 and has collaborated with corporations including Samsung, Netflix, Coca-Cola, Capital One, The Miami Heat, Aston Martin, The Four Seasons, Leafly, 7up, Bacardi, Burning Man, Ultra Music Festival, Vita Coco, the Kazbah, Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, University of Miami, T-ROC, Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, Kidz Neuroscience Center, City of Miami Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation and many others. With works in timeless museums and collections, Jaffet earned international recognition through public installations, murals, exhibitions, donated works, and philanthropic endeavors. In early 2015, he completed the tallest mural in Miami, and raised the bar again in 2018 with the 14-story mural “Declaration of Hope”, a work that he and loved ones hold deep in their hearts.

Art making bends time into a sanctuary of space, made for vulnerable truths, reflection, and surrender. The purpose of it all is to inspire and have others to look at Rey’s work and feel “Wow! If that’s possible, what else is possible!? Jaffet is making the impossible very visible, very experienced, to elevate everyone else’s perspective and bring this collective consciousness into the being.
