Ricky Reese began his professional career in the 1980s as a photographer, traveling the world and capturing places, moments, and people from a unique and personal perspective.
This extensive experience in visual art provided him with the knowledge, sensitivity, and inspiration that he later channeled into his other great passion: sculpture.
He chose steel as his material, which presents a significant challenge due to the complexity of transforming, joining, and aesthetically finishing it, ultimately turning a fragment of this noble material into a creative and emotional statement.
Minimalist abstraction is his mode of expression. Each work is constructed from essential geometries, spaces, and lines that intersect or support one another.
The creative process begins with a concept that is then translated into forms. It is an intuitive yet rigorous process in which he allows the material to impose its own limits and possibilities, and in this negotiation, the identity of each piece emerges.
His tireless pursuit of aesthetics and beauty is reflected in the simplicity of his sculptures. They are the result of ideas that spring from within, to conceive figures and spaces that convey movement, sobriety, and elegance.
Does not conceive of sculpture as an isolated object, but as a body that engages in dialogue with its surroundings, be it a natural landscape, an urban space, or contemporary architecture. Her sculptures seek to integrate, generate harmony, and modify the perception of the place where they are installed.
In each of her pieces, she is personally involved from the beginning to the final execution. All her works bear the mark of her hands, her decisions, her commitment, and her time.
Her objective as an artist is not simply to create a piece to decorate a space, but rather that her work can be admired as a contemporary object that provokes thought, interpretation, and dialogue.
