'Rafael Diez captures the essence of his subjects and reveals the language of ideas and charisma that define his subjects.'
-The Orlando Sentinel.
Outstanding! We hired Rafael for our Cuban family reunion and to celebrate my mother's **th birthday and I would urge anyone to consider hiring a caricaturist to draw your guests at your next party. It's a great way for them to take away a memento and it's a huge hit for all ages - from the youngest to the oldest. I realized during this process that everyone wants to be drawn, even if just to see how we would look as a cartoon, but may be embarrassed to do so in public. This is the perfect place to do it. And, if you do hire a caricaturist, hire this man. Rafael Diez is very talented and tireless. He must have done ** color drawings non-stop and never failed to be engaging, genuine and a real pleasure to have at the party. Thanks, Rafael!
