Profile Information

About:: Ric was born on 1986 and raised in central California.

As far back as I could remember I’ve always loved to paint. I was one of those kids that used to write on the walls in my room with crayons. As time pasted I went from crayons to krylon (spray paint) and from the walls in my room to the walls on abandon buildings. I began to write graffiti at a very young age and the older I got the more I learned. When I got to high school my eyes were opened. Art took on a whole new meaning to me. I studied and observed previous art movements, other artists, past and present, their form, brush strokes, colors and techniques. My love for art grew and as I began to learn more and more I started using oil, but I never forgot about my graffiti background. I started mixing styles and most of the teachers I came across in my school years frowned upon it. Frustrated with not being able to paint the way I wanted, I decided school was not right for me and droped out. I gave up painting and tried to live a life like everyone else, but it wasn’t for me. I felt like I had a hunger that cannot be fulfilled and a thirst that cannot be quenched. That’s when I started painting again and I knew what my purpose was now, What’s next…
