Description
Beautiful Ricardo Avila 2012 acrylic canvas, Title: Ciudad y El Juego. 48 x 36 inches. Catalogue: The Avila World/ El Mundo de Avila included. The art has a mark as if something leaned against the canvas, it is not broken, it just needs to be streched out, please refer to photos for more details. Provenance: private owner from Key Largo. Biography: Ricardo Avila, winner of Costa Rica’s National Prize or premio nacional, for art, has been painting since 1988. He began taking art classes but decided the academic art route was not the path for him. “Art is freedom,” said Ricardo. “You cannot be academic with painting, because paintings are more free.”Instead of taking formal classes, Ricardo increased his knowledge of art by turning to the great masters of the art world and studying their works. He notes Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Vincent van Goh as some of his biggest influences.“At first I painted very timidly,” said Ricardo of his early days as a painter. “But I always believed in my work. When I see a blank canvas I don’t worry or plan much. I prefer my paintings to be more spontaneous.”Ricardo has travelled extensively through Europe, Mexico and Miami to study art. Though the effects of this travel are obvious in the global subject matters he paints, he says his art remains tied to Costa Rica because all his works are inspired by colors used by the indigenous people of Costa Rica.
