MEJORADA, Ricardo

 

 

                                                                       

 

Born in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco in 1965.

Self taught painter, watercolourist, draftsman and engraver. 

He collaborated in the early 80's in the workshop of the artist and sculptor Juan José Avila (Kraeppellin), in the same period, he was a student of watercolourist master Alfonos de Lara Gallardo during which he worked doing drawings and watercolors. 

His work has participated in the Jorge Martínez and the José Atanacio Monroy painting awards.

 

With a defined language within the expressions of abstraction, with elegant and consistent compositions, Mejorada takes us on a journey between tormented landscapes, lands of fire, cloudy days and labyrinths of the vital geometry that are present in the cells that make up and give life to amorphous imaginary characters.

Nature is also present in his work. The vital course of water, dust, lonely trees and bird sounds are represented and a recurring theme in his work.

Ricardo Mejorada enjoys experimenting with pictorial materials; the inheritance of his parental grandfather, that man who on a distant day, shared his brushes and paints with him.

Mejorada is currenty a founding member of RIMBAUD Art Gallery in Guadalajara, Mexico.
