Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, Ricardo Reyes is a contemporary abstract expressionist whose work channels the emotional resonance of color and gesture. Through layers of paint and sweeping movement, Reyes constructs what he calls “floral abstractions” — dynamic compositions that dissolve the boundaries between form and feeling.

​

Drawing inspiration from nature, memory, and the energy of life itself, his canvases transform bouquets, gardens, and natural motifs into expressive bursts of pigment. Each work feels like a moment suspended between growth and decay — where petals, stems, and colors merge into rhythmic, spontaneous harmony.

​

Over a career spanning more than three decades, Reyes has exhibited across Venezuela, Mexico, Germany, and the United States, and his paintings form part of private collections throughout Latin America and abroad. Currently based in Maracaibo, he continues to explore the dialogue between abstraction and emotion, creating works that celebrate beauty through movement, imperfection, and color.
