His works are often intriguing, whether still-life, landscapes or figuratives, for he has been to the most inhospitable and remote of places, in places and countries that few ever heard of, and his basic Arabic, French, Swahili, Thai and Urdu coupled by his friendly humility have seen him through all over the world. He also takes terror photographs. Seeing his Sunset Beach, one could feel the breeze, one just want to lay down on the beach to relax. 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 got a degree overseas first, at the De Vrije Academic, Voor Bildeende 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 foreign auction houses in recent years. Rafiee was featured for a month at the prestigious Nou Gallery, Taipei near end of 2018.
