Description

The main theme in all of Ricardo’s surrealistic works is creation, something in constant evolution. The focal point in this particular piece is the two-dimensional wall with fluid forms and twisting, interlacing lines which are the mos obvious stylistic traits of art nouveau.

Standing dormant, it slowly transfigures into a vivified state with stenciled roses quickening, thirsting and reaching for water, the foundation of life. Atop the wall, the cherries melt into a sugary deliquescence, the butterfly anxiously awaits the metamorphous of his mate, and the cricket completes his transformation.

All the while, in another plane of existence, the three-dimensional snail makes his solitary trek towards life-giving water

Written by Michelle “Meeca” Marin-Chavez

NOTE: Look for Ricardo’s motifs – objects melting signifies transformation, water means life, the numbers three and seven are mystic numbers, etc. The snail in “TRANSFIGURATION” is hand-carved by the artist from an acrylic modeling paste and gel over wire and hand-painted in acrylic.
