I am Jaime Eduardo Kafati. I’ve been painting since I arrived in the United States in 1978, but it wasn't until 2018, when I retired from my day job, that I was able to devote to my studio to my art on a full-time basis. Between intermittent commissioned works, I engaged in continued figurative studies, attending local life-drawing sessions, exploring new mediums, and creating allegorical paintings that allowed me to express my contemplations of the world.
