Piece description from the artist
All sunsets are beautiful. Some are dramatic and full of strong colors, reds, violets, oranges. Other sunsets are quiet and serene. I wanted to paint a peaceful, serene and quiet sunset. Just one color in the sky and in the water. Mild orange and yellow, changing to an almost white, seen through the branches of the pine trees, resting in the background of blue mountains in the distance.
Ricardo Maldonado loves painting and experimenting with color. He preferes natural outdoor subjects, as the light and colors change often with the seasons and the time of the day. Those changes, subtle or abrupt, are always challenging him. For Ricardo, painting is a passion and a discipline. Painting taught him to see things in a different way, observing every detail more carefully and more consciously, and ultimately appreciating more deeply all that surrounds him.
Ricardo's paintings are often very colorful and create a very lively atmosphere for the viewer. Sometimes strong and colorful contrasts enhance the difference between light and shadows and brings up beautiful effects not seen often.
