"I want a less intelligent but a more human world."
Some years ago when I was a child I discovered that (like many others kids) I had the capacity of getting into fantastic dimensions through my mind, something like Coraline’s secret door that led her to a parallel world. Well… In my case, it was a full white world where I was the one in charge of building it, and without evil beings or witches. My mom tells me I could disappear for hours in complete silence, this became something usual until one day those hours exceeded its normal limit, and my parents thought that I had somehow managed to get out of the house without them realizing it. A few minutes of panic and despair later they found the entrance of my secret dimension; they looked for under the bed and there I was… surrounded with pencils, crayons, brushes and with my clothes stained in painting. So then they realized they had an artist in the family, or a very naughty son.
I’ve come a long way since then, however, nowadays things haven’t changed that much, the white world is now my canvases and with every brushstroke I build part of it, my clothes are still stained with painting, and I grew up scared of getting under the bed or any other thing because after the event that I already told you about, my parents (to prevent it from happening again) told me if I did it again I wouldn’t grow up and I’d stay small forever.
10 years of discipline later, I can introduce myself:
Hi, my name is Ronald and I’m a self-taught mixed media artist, that is to say, I employee different mediums in one same support to create my art. Realism is the solid base of my artworks, which I later on deform with abstracts elements to get a new aesthetic and represent concepts, feelings, and fantasies. I like to explore subjects that have to do with:
- The human essence.
- Social problems.
- Fantasy, Identity, and feelings.
In addition to what I’ve said, I’m also a terrible chef, a frustrated singer, a lover of scenic arts; I’m passionate about entrepreneurship topics, I’m an addict to social media and a faithful believer of art transforming power.
I’m very happy to have the opportunity to share a part of me with you guys, a great and receptive community in where our voices have value, I hope I can find people like me around here and learn from each one, and of course, share with you my stories and knowledge.
