Denis Ribas


Born in Perpingnan France and now living in Catalonia Denis Ribas has seen much beauty throughout his life and as an athlete who spends time outdoors it is no wonder that he developed the desire to paint his surroundings, both urban and natural. Unique in his method is a modern impressionistic style of thick paint much like impasto painting infused with an art deco palette. As an active person in life he likes to see art as a process and to him a painting is not complete until he sees and hears the reaction of the viewer. This is the moment he enjoys the most about a painting because it reminds him of his reactions to his subject matter and his ability to approach life with youthful wonder as if it is being experienced for the first time. Below is an excerpt from our website, http://www.hansongalleryfineart.com.
