Rina Graf is a studio artist who’s main mediums are acrylic painting and textile works.

Currently, Rina Graf is exploring her identity as an aromantic asexual person, and what gender means to them. Growing up with the intention of living life identifying as a woman, they began to question if they really identify that way. What is womanhood? Is it sex, romance, love, maternal feelings? And what is androgyny? Is it a combination of both masculine and feminine equally, or is it just solely interpretation? They explore these themes through various mediums, such as textile, acrylic paint, printmaking, illustration, and photography.

About me, from me.

Growing up, I collected and played with dolls. I knew the exact day that Toys R Us usually got their shipments - Tuesdays. Now, my hobbies include video games, cosplay, art (of course), and still collecting dolls.

Some games I’ve played are: Apex Legends, Overwatch (a certified Rina Classic), Undertale, Outlast, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Paladins, and tons more that I can’t remember. Games like Overwatch and Genshin Impact are what inspired me to create characters of my own.

Other things that have inspired me to become who I am now would be cartoons like Steven Universe, Flapjack, and Chowder. I also was heavily inspired by the band Gorillaz throughout high school.

I don’t have any plans for the future yet, but I’m hoping I can become an art therapist or an art teacher.
