\"\"<\/p>\n

See a unique art style inspired by the\u00a0serene aura\u00a0of nature, a refreshing far cry from our everyday busy urban world and discover the vibrancy of mundane objects through Ricky Montilla’s paintings of natural elements such as flowers, landscapes, and koi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An interplay of realism and impressionism, Montilla creates a hybrid of classic and modern art, adapting his realistic impressionism art style inspired by East and West by Filipino artist Fernando Amorsolo and French artist Claude Monet.<\/p>\n

Combining the classic and modern art, he portrays people and nature scenes in vivid light and soft brush strokes and vibrant color palettes to connote various movement or dramatic lighting, as if trying to visualize the fleeting moment without disconnecting from detail and realism.\u00a0A realistic view of nature, similar to the likes of Amorsolo, yet at the same time, conveying emotion, movement, and light like the impressionist Monet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Through this different art style that he sought after, the artist can further highlight not just the thematic styles and visuals nature, but also deliver an experience; how the viewer can experience the feeling of tranquility, hope, or beauty that is nature. For Montilla, he believes that art is capable of transcending language and culture\u2013that it is universal. It is for this reason that he fused it with impressionist ideas so that emotions can be expressed in his pictures, on top of the detailed form. Through his paintings, he aims to give the viewer a window to an experience.<\/p>\n
