Rafael Pérez Giménez Barradas (4 January 1890, in Montevideo – 12 February 1929, in Montevideo), was an Uruguayan modernist painter and graphic artist who worked in Spain. At the end of 1913, at the age of 23, Barradas arrives in Europe, entering the city of Milan, where he has a brief contact with Futurism. After a brief stay in Paris, where he continues his essays of dynamically structured plantation painting, he goes to Barcelona, a city that receives him at the time of the beginning of the First World War. That year of 1914 works as an illustrator for the magazine L'Esquella de la Torratxa, but soon decides to travel to Madrid walking, although it only arrives until Saragossa, where it spends the whole year of 1915. There he married with Simona Láinez, returning with her to Barcelona at the beginning of 1916. He works as an illustrator in publications of the Pontifical Catholic Library and Popular Magazine, in which he knows two poets with whom he will establish great friendship: Juan Laguía Lliteras and Juan Gutiérrez Gili, while the process of his painting Is orientated towards an exalted chromatism and an insertion of the rhythmic planes forming a pictorial mode that at the beginning of 1917 he called vibrationism.
