RICOARTISTRY

This collection is made up of skulls and anatomical hearts that symbolize mortality and human existence. The Aztec background adds a layer to my spirituality and rebirth. I combined these elements and created mixed media art by adding texture using healing stones, spikes, chains, feathers and Swarovski crystals. My goal was to merge my conscious self with my deep desires. This collection represents the DEATH of my alcoholism and my fascination of the unknown. The fears and anxieties that come with sobriety. The goal is to have the spectator feel and accept that death surrounds us and inspire the belief that there is an afterlife. Thanks to my sobriety, the artist in me was REBORN.
