RICARDO PEÑUELA-PAVA
“Nos han contado un camino de rosas, pero hoy me apartaré de las sombras para reconstruir tu sueño y ver desde el infinito hacia este suelo de inmigrantes.” RP
Ricardo was born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1959. He holds a BSc degree from Universidad de los Andes, where he got involved in some art studies, which started up his formal interest on this field. He eventually moved to Europe to be trained as a scientist and at the same time registered in several visual art courses offered in Oviedo, Rome and Brighton. Ricardo also holds an MBA with a major in Human Resources Management, through a fellowship-award from the Organization of American States, OAS-PRA Program at the Interamerican University, Puerto Rico. Ricardo has also participated in art workshops held at the Museum of the Americas at OAS, in Washington, DC. His paintings have been exhibited in Bogotá; Oviedo, Spain and in the USA (Washington DC; Alexandria and Petersburg, Virginia). More recently he spends two months in Montevideo, Uruguay, training both at Sisto Pascale's Studio and at Ignacio Iturrias’ “Casablanca’s Atelier”. From September 2007 he joined Daniel Wolkof's Stained Glass Studio in Washington DC. In the last five months he developed several cultural events & visual art exhibits in DC, including one at the Embassy of Uruguay and an art workshop at the Manuel Zapata-Olivella Center, as well as a visual arts group exhibit for Cinco de Mayo Festival with Maru Montero’s Dance Co. at the National Mall, through PAVARTES.

Sobre esta exhibición en especial: "Ahora me ocupo de las variaciones en espacio y tiempo, generadas por las "ausencias", temporales o definitivas. Somos inmigrantes en este mundo, invitados a sobrevivir ante abrumadoras dificultades que acompañan el proceso migratorio haciendolo aún más turbio. Mis "personajes" ni siquiera están autorizados a ocupar un primer plano en sus propias vidas, se diluyen en la bruma del miedo y la inequidad, apelando a la justicia de los hombres porque sus dioses los han olvidado. Migran en busca de sueños ajenos y en su camino ocasionalmente encuentran una verdad a medias, muy ajustada. Compiten con sus propios recuerdos y transitan inseguros entre islas que se hacen una sola tierra, cuando baja la marea..." Ricardo was born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1959.
