My Vision.
Art for Nature...
Art opens a possibility for me not only to transform and process the intense perception of my whole environment. Art is my contribution to support nature with all the animals, especially the birds.
Birds neither have a lobby nor do they have any rights. Legally, they are "things". Birds are dependent on the goodwill of human beings. Birds are essential for our environment. Birds are highly sensitive, they are highly intelligent and skilled, and they can warn us if we just listen to them. We can learn a lot from them.
Of course, I cannot save the world. But I can take action to make the world a slightly better place for nature, the animals and birds.
At the end of the day, we have to realize that we all live on the same planet. Until now, there is no alternative, even though you might be ultra rich and think you can just escape to the moon.
If you are a smart art collector, investor, institution or gallery, and if you also want to contribute to save our nature and environment, you can do so by collecting my art. The net revenues will be transferred to carefully selected sanctuaries and institutions for animal shelter. Stay tuned for more to come!
I create contemporary, figurative and abstract art, reflecting on various topics, e. g. women in society, natural environment, financial markets, etc.. The ideas for my artwork are inspired by the inner images drawn from perceiving the world, whether in conversations, observing people or animals, or watching social phenomena. Thus, I don't use any sketches or photos or other external drawings to create.
My strengths lie in the imaginative usage of material, paint and shapes. At the moment, I prefer acrylic on canvas or timber, using fresco techniques. I love and work with clear colours like yellow, blue and red as well as green, orange and sienna, added with white and black. On some art work, I add metals like gold or coins or other materials.
Ricarda Simon
Ricarda Simon is a Physical Artist going Phygital, living both in Switzerland and Ireland.
Ricarda has experienced a lot in her life. Sickness, abandonment, poverty, loss, grief, confinement and loneliness as well as joy, love, happiness and success through her own efforts. Ricarda had no mentor, no financial resources, and very little support from others. But she had her creativity, her alert mind, her strong will and her powerful power of visualisation. From these, she drew the strength to build and shape her life independently and the way as she wished.
Her diploma at the College for Design in Germany showed that Ricarda needs a free mind for creativity - she felt that she was not made for "commissioned work under financial pressure" as it is given to most professional artists. Thus, Ricarda didn't study art at university but decided to go for economics, psychology, psychotherapy and public health. Through her self-taught art studies, Ricarda has retained the free spirit with which she creates her art, even though her career is atypical for an artist.
Due to her personal experiences, her work is characterised by emotional depth, intense and clear colours and subtle to clear messages.
Of course, Ricarda Simon is an open pseudonym she chose for her creative artistic identity. However, you can find out her "original name" very easily if you just combine two facts.
