Rafael Hanuman

Rafael Vieira, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, July 1977. Known as "RafaelHanuman", he is a visual artist pioneer in digital image editing in the Brazilian textile industry, specialist in Expanded Gamut Printing, and OpenSource Software.

Native to the province of Santa Catarina, which was, in his time, the largest textile center in Latin America, he worked with textile design during the first Brazilian industrial incursions into CAD/CAM media. He helped create digital industrial processes and define the standards through which the industry transitioned from mechanical-analog to fully digital.

A visual artist and political activist within the industrial milieu, he wrote about the industry and textile creation methods from a political perspective. He published texts and drawings in local newspapers, socialist ideology magazines, and Islamic publications. He sought to establish criteria by which the non-aligned industry should advance into the globalized world.

A militant socialist, he was involved since university, in the Architecture and Urbanism program, and in the Planning Secretariats of the municipalities where he worked, with the concepts of urban intervention advocated by Oscar Niemeyer, Jaime Lerner and Stenio Ubirajara Vieira.

A student leader of social-democratic ideology, first affiliated with the PSDB, with political training at the Teotônio Vilela Institute, later affiliated with the Green Party of Brazil, he adopted the concept of political change based on sustainable urban intervention.

Close to the Workers' Party, son of a mother who was a federal auditor for the Ministry of Labor and a father who was a labor lawyer, he reverted to Islam at age 27, subsequently advocating for the so-called non-aligned countries. He worked alongside unions and union movements as a contracted artist for ideological worker panels and cartoon drawings for newspapers.

He was a commentator for community radios belonging to unions, evaluating political and economic movements in cities whose main activities were based on the textile industry.





== PROFESSIONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY ==

• Development of the Linear Relationships Table for halftone images to cylinder and screen printing meshes, which enabled simulating halftones for any type of ink.

• Development of the Color Separation Process for complex images, which enabled separating bitmap images and photos into any number of colors required for expanded gamut textile printing.

• Development of the Degrees Table for Poly-chromatics with any number of colors and any type of ink, which enabled eliminating the moiré effect on printed fabrics.
