Rafiee's compositions of fruit and still life are memorable for their rich palette of intense shades embracing scenes from the everyday within living spaces. In Jasmine At Dawn, the exuberant colours of the red watermelon and vase provide an accent to the table laden with decorative objects, fruit, flowers and stylised patterns. The sweet, aromatic scent of the jasmine lingers in the calm of the morning light. Rafiee Ghani is one of the most well-travelled and cosmopolitan artists, on land, traversing Central and Western Asia, besides Europe and the United States, all adding to his visual colour bank which he synthesizes in his works. He studied overseas first, at the De Vrije Academic, Voor Beeldende Kunst, The Hague (1980) before returning to retake his Diploma, Mara Institute of Technology, 1985 (majoring in Printmaking trained under Ponirin Amin). He followed up with a MA (Fine Prints) at the Manchester Polytechnic, England, in 1987. His accolades include the Minor Award in the Salon Malaysia (1991) and twice in the Young Contemporary Artists competition (1984 and 1985). He also won 2nd Prize in the Malaysian Art Open in 1994. His artwork prices skyrocketed at local and foreign auction houses in recent years. Rafiee was featured for a month at the prestigious Nou Gallery, Taipei in 2018. His solo exhibition in 2022 titled Overland (jointly organised by Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers) was held at Galeri Prima, Kuala Lumpur.
