The Imagined Word at Point of Contact Gallery is an installation of 22 drawings by Trelles, all of which employ references to Hispanic and world literature. A creator of alternate worlds, he brings the viewer on a voyage to an esoteric universe of characters in dreamlike settings, where solitude reigns.
From Santurce, Puerto Rico, Rafael Trelles (b. 1957) is one of the most recognized artists in the Caribbean as a master painter, printmaker, installation artist, stage and costume designer. Trelles completed a bachelor’s degree at the University of Puerto Rico and conducted his postgraduate studies at the National University of Mexico.
