Ricardo Paniagua grew up in Dallas. He describes his path to becoming an artist as an inspirational journey: “I had to fend for myself from an early age. I dropped out of high school in the second month of my sophomore year. When I was 20, I discovered artist’s paint, and became enthralled with the idea of limitless potential.
Hernan Jara was born in Quito, Ecuador in 1936 and received Architecture and Urban Design degrees in France, where he currently lives and works. His geometric paintings focus on varying interpretations of the square.
