The artist I chose for this project is Gustavo Rimada, I chose him for his unique style and his appealing composition. Rimada has inspired me as an artist, through paintings he has conveyed messages and I aspire to do the same. Rimada usually paints women, however he paints them in a realistically stylized manner. He is known for continuously adding roses in his art pieces as well as adding an animal to tie the piece together, whether it be a snake, a crow, or octopus tentacles. Gustavo Rimada inspires me to never be discouraged with my work, as he has said " This craft takes time".
