Ricardo Mazal

Ricardo Mazal, one of Mexico's most prominent contemporary artists, explores themes of life, death, transformation and regeneration through a multidisciplinary approach to painting that combines photography and digital technology.

In 2004, the artist embarked on a trilogy examining the sacred burial rituals of three cultures, continents, and time periods. He began at the Mayan tomb of The Red Queen in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico, and then traveled to the Peace Forest cemetery in Odenwald, Germany. His newest series—inspired by the sky burials of Mount Kailash—marks the final installment of his triumvirate. In each of his investigations, photographs have been the impetus.

For Mazal, photography is a bridge that links reality to abstraction. He begins by manipulating his photographs on the computer to compose a digital sketch. He then moves onto the canvas, delicately layering oil paint using foam-rubber blades.
