About Ricardo Alves

Ricardo Alves Ricardo Alves artwork relies on these three strands as a tripod: contemporary art, graphic art and handicrafts. The artisanal component, even if hi tech using digital art, demonstrates the artist initial distance from the instituted art circuit. Alves produced in complete isolation, without any kind of orientation conditioned by the influences of the artistic environment. This displacement was not just physical but spiritual: his compositions, according to him, reveals cosmic universes and other worlds.
Already his side as a graphic artist is present in the series of posters that are versions of other compositions, a search for popularization and mass distribution, in its themes of composition, collages and signs that it inserts over the images.
And finally the characteristic components of art contemporary are presented in the lightness of the abstrations that it obtains with velaturas, colors, depths, lights and the modernity of the technique.
Your point of departure and arrival is photography. We perceive not only the ability to realize abstract art but also a coherence of style and in the discourse behind the work. There is a liberating desire in this art: the representation of the ethereal plane. His compositions suggest parallel realities and reflect a search for the mapping of spiritualistic visions.
