THE ARTIST
Born and raised in Jamaica, Ricardo Edwards is a contemporary artist working in oils and various forms of digital media. Ricardo found his artistic inspiration early on, captivated by watching his father and uncle create. This familial influence sparked a deep passion for art, which he has nurtured and developed throughout his life.
Ricardo's work draws its power from a profound sensitivity to Jamaica’s cultural ecosystem, expressed through his subject matter and visual narratives. His pieces often reflect the complexities of his upbringing and environment. These perspectives are woven into his art, creating a vivid tapestry of enquiry and emotional depth. His art is a powerful expression of identity and experience, tensions that Edwards uses to evoke his emplacement in this world.
