Paul Rickert
Each piece captures the essence of his subjects through carefully chosen symbols. These symbols transform his landscapes into rich tapestries of meaning, inviting viewers to explore the intricate interplay between the natural world and the modern age.
“I strive to find symbols in the environment that reflect deeper emotions. Through these elements, I convey the intricate relationship between humanity and the world around us.” – Rickert
“I rarely get the painter’s equivalent of writer’s block. There’s too much I want to do; I have too little time. I have so many ideas; so many paintings in my brain, in my head, in my sketch pad.” – Rickert
Each brush stroke is laden with the intent to evoke and engage in a silent, yet profound communion with the viewer.
“The form of my work is deliberate, a relationship between myself and those who view my paintings.” – Rickert
“Paul’s paintings are appealing for the way they represent place and timeless moments in Maine’s coastal landscape through his extraordinary natural painting ability and eye for color. I have always found his watercolors and oils to be deeply satisfying, lasting, and often breathtaking.” – David Dewey for Maine Home Design Magazine, 2014
