Wonderful Roberto. All the elements we look for in good art: a dialogue with great art preceding without detracting, skillful rendering, imagination, inspiring, authentic, provocative, and transcendent. I also appreciate how you have integrated your cultural experience with great European trradition. Bosch and Pinata? Brilliant.
Super beautiful ❤❤❤❤ “craft” is surpassing Fine Art these days, often fine art does not include craftsmanship or technical expertise. These are exquisite works of art that go beyond craft
Brilliant work,humorous, luminous and brightly speckled! These are truly masterpieces. Thank you for providing those of us who don’t live in major metropolitan areas the chance to be inspired by this work.
These are magical! I love his work! The Bosch pieces are magnificent. Immediately recognized the weasel as I’ve been fascinated by the animals in medieval art since childhood. I am very drawn to the yin and yang of his birds. To me we are all both male and female in spirit, regardless of gender or sexuality. Some of us are more one than the other and some both no matter our plumbing. Born in the 1950s into in a culture that had a very limited understanding of gender and conflated this narrow understanding with “proper” gender based behavior and a narrow and religious driven understanding of sexuality was a challenge for a child who did not behave or see the world in that way and who was and is androgynous in behavior. So I celebrate his birds as my people.
Anyone whose partner is delighted to share a home with a troupe of beautiful mediaeval marginalia monsters has 100% married the right person. Gosh these are gorgeous.
STUNNING! Serious artsy question though; Is he using all acid free &/or light safe materials? If not, does he use a finish, sealant, or such, to maintain the quality of his pieces over time? I'd love to know, for use in my own art!
Roberto uses acid free paper and no finish on top of the paper. Of course, some colors fade over time but the best way to preserve it is to keep it out of direct sunlight.

It'll be a bit of a shame when they get whacked to bits by kids for the sweets inside them
