Painter

The Black Light of Urban Memory Inspired by the radical expressiveness of Pierre Soulages, Ricardo Artiles into the emotional and material depth of black.

​

His paintings are meditations in texture and gesture, evoking an abstract and intimate cityscape.

​

Artiles works with layers - of paint, of time, of silence.

​

His canvases often suggest ruins and rebirth, architecture and absence. Through a palette anchored in blacks, rusts, and ochres, he summons the lyricism of erosion and the quiet persistence of memory.

​

Based between Caracas and New York, Ricardo`s practice reveals a painter who listens deeply to surfaces and shadows. His art invites comtemplation - a slow unveilig of space, soul, and the emotional imprints that cities leave on us.
