Sometimes it is so difficult to understand the philosophy and beauty of this or that creative masterpiece, be it photography, sculpture or painting. It happens that you look at a work and do not understand what is so special about it that makes the audience admire, praise the author's talent and sing his praises in every possible way? And then you start thinking that there must be something in them, otherwise why people get so much enthusiasm … About the paintings of Richard Salcido, an artist from San Diego, we can say the same thing.
Richard's paintings are full of inner beauty, invisible to the human eye. Well, what is special about the fact that the author draws portraits, and then does something over them, which makes the canvas covered with dirty smudges, as if it was left on the street in the rain or was shoved under the shower? Is this how masterpieces do?
But nevertheless, the unusual style and these "crying" paintings evoke a storm of emotions in people, from affection to adoration. And the women painted by Richard Salcido are called "crying Madonnas". And not only because the smudges on the canvases resemble tear paths. Some very sad ladies are depicted in the artist's paintings …
However, the creative baggage of Richard Salsido is rich not only in ladies, and not only in crying pictures. You can look at the artist's paintings on his website.
