At three months old, Michael Ricardo-Andreev moved to Jamaica where he lived for 16 years before returning to New York City. Growing up in Jamaica surrounded by nature helped develop not only his views on the world and people, but also, his views on texture, color and composition. His artistic influences include Anselm Kiefer, Robert Motherwell, Gerdhard Richter and Franz Kline. Each of these artists in their way sought the common ground between western-style intellectualism and eastern-style spiritualism, as well as the intersection of abstraction and representation in painting. The abstract forms that emerge as dark silhouettes from his wood and metal panels express a conceptual landscape of symbolic patterns.
Michael’s paintings have been received by collectors such as actress Susan Sarandon, Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) and Michael Stipe (REM). His paintings have also been collected by The Library of Congress, and they have been shown at The Whitney Museum of American Art.
