About Ricardo - innerpeace1979

Ricardo was born in Lisbon on the 4th of July, 1979; hence the number attached to his nickname.

Always interested in arts, he finished his high school studies in that field, and followed on to study Design for two years and two more years of painting. Eventually he finished his BA in Modern Dance, in the Netherlands where he also pursued the improvement of his drawing abilities, clearly preferring traditional means, and enjoying mixing media, such as markers, coloring pencils and watercolors.
Ricardo hopes to inspire and touch the people who see and look at his art. He believes he doesn't draw mere pretty pictures but communicates with an imagery which is filled with subtle but deep emotion.

Ricardo has realized early enough that a piece he couldn't impregnate with a part of his soul wasn't a piece worth showing, sharing or selling. That is the main reason why this artist will only strive to produce pieces that "come from the heart" and touch other's hearts too...

Lately Ricardo has been working as an English Teacher, translator, as an actor and reiki therapist, having had the privilege of featuring a magazine with his illustration on Male Anorexia and selling some of his prints in Europe and in the USA...

HI !

Hello everyone,

I am hereby announcing the suspension of my activities on Deviantart.
This place has long lost its community character which had driven me to be a fervent advocate of online mutual support.
Life has a way of presenting challenges to you.
Unfortunately I don't even have time to draw and that is why you haven't seen anything from me recently.
I miss drawing like a fish misses water when out of the sea.

Also I found that even though I have much to learn there so many less skilled artists here making money with commissions, and that shows me that there's something I am not doing right.

I hope to someday return with a whole new set of pieces to share, but I despise the "cheerleader clique" type of groups on deviantart, as they are a perversion and derrogative aspect of this community.

Art is NOT about how high you can stick your nose, but about how your internal world, and your perception of the external affect your output.
That being said, I make my excuses for my rant and leave you with my usual...

hugs
Ricardo

Is $15 too expensive for an Ink only commission?
