Raymar is an artist, educator, and curator based in Detroit. A graduate of College for Creative Studies, Raymar uses photography, film, and music to explore fashion forward aesthetics and to embrace the topics of identity and individuality. The artist is highly influenced by music, which he uses to shape static and moving images alike as a soundtrack to elevate ideas and concepts. He is the Co-Founder of NOVA24 | Photo + Film Festival, and his artistic and curatorial projects have been featured in publications and spaces such as Vogue Italia, The Wright Museum, Shinola, Metro Times, and Detroit Design Month, with his recent debut solo exhibition LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM at Playground Detroit as apart of their Emerging Artist Fellowship.
