Ricardo’s inspiration is born of a love and passion towards ancient South American Nations. His research and personal experience as a native of Argentina fuels this interest and creates an understanding, which he translates to the canvas or the stone.
Ricardo’s journey in the arts began as early as eight years of age, studying drawing and painting, then later on crossing to sculpture and sand.
He studied fine arts and Diversional Therapy and the combination of these two subjects makes him a great consultant and workshop provider, for schools, community organizations or the corporate arena.
Ricardo’s former involvement with The Pirra Dance Ensemble provided expansive experience in prop design and construction. These items were used and displayed in many countries over the world, including USA, Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru.
Today Ricardo is a member of the National Sand Sculpting Team and of The European Sand Sculpting team. Works associated to his skill are the Skoda Commercial, (Car made of sand) and many sculptures published in local and national news papers .ie: the domain supplement, Animita 2004.
Ricardo endeavors to reach his viewers with the depth and spirit of his pieces. He reaches for that that is familiar, he searches the collective memory and touches the common strands of humanity. His pieces have presence and speak of ancient, of time and place.
To quote him:"I strive for what is familiar, I reach for the roots of creativity, and I find common threads across the world, through all nations of people".
