About the Author

She began her education in Art and Art History at Sarah Lawrence College and competed her BFA at the School of Visual Arts in NYC in 1995 with an honorary award. After her graduation Raquel remained in NYC where she participated in numerous group shows including Spanish is as Spanish does and Gen Art Summer exhibit 1996.

In 1997 Raque was invited by the University of Miami to do a year as resident artist after which the same university offered her a full scholarship to pursue her Master's degree in Fine Art.

In 2000 Raquel moved to London where she lived for four years and studied at the Waterloo sculpture Academy.

Since her return to Miami in 2004 she has two one-woman shows, participated in Photo Miami 2006 and Miami Art Fair. In 2007 she exhibited with the Rozenblum Foundation and in 2008 with Puzzlement Gallery during Art Basel Miami in 2009 her work was shown in Arte Americas.

Raquel Glottman's work is mainly figurative and often shot underwater where a she rediscovers a realm of sensuality and a dreamlike lightness each time.

She links her images to archetypal embodiments, rather than portraits of her models. Raquel also works with infrared photography, and uses it as a medium to play with the edges of reality, making subtle suggestions of the ethereal within the physical.

Raquel Glottman’s Open Book is a wondrous blend of art, lyricism and philosophy, all in the service of illustrating a personal journey that I found fascinating. I look forward to the opportunity of offering it to my customers, as I’m sure it will resonate deeply with so many of them.

Raquel developed her fist picture/ Lifestyle book titled “Open Book” after a lifetime of experience as a photographer playing with the ideas of figurative illusions, the human body and the natural elements. She applied her viewpoint and knowledge on a rather modern feminine outlook on sensuality, freedom and the meaning of reality as main topics of deep discussion in
