Digital artist Ramón A. Olivares uses line and pattern to explore the visual impact of rhythm, symmetry, and declarative contrast on his audience. Working from a mathematical base, Olivares begins with a black canvas and digitally draws a matrix of vivid curves and ghostly geometric figures. The result is at once traditional and completely new: familiar, organic paisleys and rosettes, but tinted in otherworldly neon. “From the beginning of my trajectory as an artist, it has always been my firm intention to innovate,” Olivares says. “My purpose is to create a new sense of beauty.”
Born in Spain, Olivares began experimenting with the use of vectors in art at a young age while constructing collages, later bringing them into his graphic design work. His work today exhibits the stylization of the graphic aesthetic, but searches for deeper implications. By placing imagery that resonates throughout the history of art into a precise, metrical texture, he highlights the profound mystery of visual language.
