Rafael Alejandro López is a Venezuelan-Swiss filmmaker and visual artist based in Los Angeles.

Working at the intersection of independent cinema, sequential art, and political satire, López combines refined technical execution with raw, DIY counter-culture aesthetics, creating distinct cinematic universes that expand across both the screen and the printed comic book page. Their work has been exhibited at institutions ranging from the Museum of Art and Design in NYC to the TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood.

A graduate of CalArts, López’s creative pursuit strives to center humanity over entertainment by dismantling how media fictionalizes reality into a form of ironic realism that seems incapable of self-recognition.
