Customer Reviews

Mazal clearly demonstrates his mastery of skill

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in contemporary painting. I have followed Ricardo Mazal's work for several years and find this to be a wonderfully informative catalogue with a plethora of beautiful images of the work and of the show at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe. He is truly a contemporary painter, using digital media to make studies and lay out ideas for each painting. He then replicates his studies as fully realized paintings on linen. His technique is a mixture of control and serendipity, and the final product is magical. This book shows his process from photographs, to digital manipulated imagery to monotypes and finally to the paintings. A great read for any artist or lover of art!
