Ricolopez and his Wonderful New Work

Ricolopez  is transcending reality representation in his work and bringing us a new world of his surrealism. His Whites are still dramatic and impressive and his color more intense and brilliant. His portrayal is about Men and Women and the World, The Creation of that World and us Humans. He also has a message of Peace for this World.

Here are three of his New Paintings:

Vital Progress

Peace is Possible

Birth of Venus

New Work

During 2009 Ricolopez is taking a sabbatical from exhibiting and dedicated his time to take care of personal business, to paint and to prepare an exhibition in Murcia, Spain and organize the construction and opening of Ricolopez’s Museum in his birth town, Yecla, Murcia in Spain.
