Born to create, I, Ricardo Hagen, arrived in this wonderfully colorful world in 1987 in Leipzig, the city of poets and thinkers. In my early years, I discovered my love for color and experimented with all sorts of techniques. But no matter which direction I looked in, it was always just a copy of a copy. Yes, the direction of the stroke and the flow of the hand always create new motifs, but the technique made it, for me, just another simple copy of my art. I appreciate every artist who makes the world more colorful, but I wanted more. I wanted to create something new, a new technique that would truly make my art unique. So I decided to stop being influenced by the outside world and go my own way. I've always been very spiritual; perhaps it was innate. Most people don't really know how powerful water can be and its true strength, which we can influence both positively and negatively, simply through our emotions. This is how my works are created today, depending on my emotions. My technique consists of high-quality color pigments, structured water, and a touch of magic.
