Mystical Valley

Piece description from the artist

This painting is a mix of real and imagined elements. While the original landscape is inspired by a real place, the colors and atmosphere in the painting is imagined. I wanted to create a piece that would bring peace and stillness to the viewer. A magical landscape, mystical and beautiful. The soft colors of the landscape help to convey these feelings of quiet beauty.

About Ricardo Maldonado

Cambridge, MA

Ricardo Maldonado loves painting and experimenting with color. He preferes natural outdoor subjects, as the light and colors change often with the seasons and the time of the day. Those changes, subtle or abrupt, are always challenging him. For Ricardo, painting is a passion and a discipline. Painting taught him to see things in a different way, observing every detail more carefully and more consciously, and ultimately appreciating more deeply all that surrounds him.

Ricardo's paintings are often very colorful and create a very lively atmosphere for the viewer. Sometimes strong and colorful contrasts enhance the difference between light and shadows and brings up beautiful effects not seen often.
