BIOGRAPHY

Ricardo Cárdenas is a successful artist born in México. On his artworks, Cardenas expresses his feelings and beliefs, connecting in media and technique with his career as construction engineer. He cleverly uses building materials, such as concrete and steel bars, as his artistic media for his paintings and sculptures. Cardenas creates some exquisite series of tributes to great masters. He reinterprets as a poster or street graffiti the main traits of the art from a chosen master artist, using as his canvas the cement and iron bars characteristic of his work on which he will paint and also add collage.
