About

Rick is a surreal artist inspired by the endless motion of the ocean, their work drifts between dream and tide. Deeply connected to surfing culture, they draw from saltwater mornings, shifting horizons, and the quiet power beneath the waves. Blending fluid forms, unexpected symbolism, and a sense of movement, their art reflects the feeling of being both small and free in the vastness of the sea—where reality bends, time slows, and imagination rides the current.

In his art, reality bends like light underwater. Familiar forms drift, stretch, and transform, guided by intuition rather than logic. Symbols surface and submerge—moons, tides, fragments of memory—each carrying the weight of motion and pause. The ocean is not merely a subject, but a state of mind: vast, rhythmic, and unknowable.

Surfing informs the work as much as dreaming does. Ricks trust in momentum, surrender in imbalance, and beauty in impermanence. Each piece echoes the experience of riding a wave—present, fleeting, and complete all at once.

Ricks surreal landscapes invite viewers to slow their breath and let go of certainty, to drift beyond the shoreline of the familiar. Here, gravity softens, time stretches, and imagination moves like water—fluid, powerful, and endlessly alive.
