The Wonderful Art of Ronald Kurniawan




























Recently, visiting one of my preferred blogs, SheWalksSoftly, I noticed some astounding paintings made by Ronald Kurniawan. Immediately fallen in love, I visited Kurniwan site, finding further works and some infos about this talented artist. Inspired by ideograms, syllables, letterforms, beasts and heroic landscapes, Ronald Kurniawan creates a visual language where the wilderness and civilization could merge happily together. With the belief that the sublime and nuclear age could coexist, he paints romantic environments and breaks the quiet scene with juxtaposed imagery taking the shape of icons and letterforms. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles where he paints meticulously and happily accompanied by his pug Ruffles, an avid artist himself.

Isn't he amazing? I've been to LA so often, yet I never caught one of his covers. I probably would have tried to save it.
