Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Galleria Dante, the largest and most eclectic art gallery in Puerto Vallarta, is excited to welcome indigenous artist Ricardo Sánchez Corona to their lineup.
Born in Mexico City in 1992, Ricardo grew up working with his parents and brothers in the chinampas (agricultural islands) of Xochimilco south of Mexico City. From an early age, he learned to appreciate the small details and colors of life around him. He spent much of his free time drawing and painting life as he saw it.
His focus and drive allowed him to attend UNAM and study architecture. His coursework included classes in watercolors which he loved and excelled in. He studied under Lorenza Capdevielle.
In early 2020, he started what was planned to be a month post-graduation trip through Baja California, after which he would return to Mexico City to begin his architecture career. He was in Mulegé in February when the world shut down. After many weeks there with little to do, he started painting after a generous expat gave him a block of Fabriano paper.
As he painted throughout the town, locals and expats became very interested and excited over his work. His was commissioned for many paintings and murals. He discovered that watercolor painting, not architecture, was his true passion.
For the past 4 years, he has traveled throughout Mexico. The collection of works at Galleria Dante represents many of the sights and images that inspired and moved him.
