Artistic Practice
Ronald Mills-Pinyas

 

Mills-Pinyas' artistic practice is divided between Oregon and Spain, with work currently being shown in Barcelona, Amsterdam and Bodrum, Türkiye by Villa del Arte galleries.  He also exhibits his work in Oregon in various venues. He has painted numerous permanent murals in Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain and Oregon. ​

The best of what I do is to notice, to preserve and amplify...approaching, but seemingly never arriving at the beginning...or the end...entering into the fray, destination unknown.

 

From the gallery website: The textured metallic pigments in his current abstract studio paintings feature surfaces that shimmer as we move around them, creating inviting multi-layered veils that remind us of our deepest desires to explore without naming, to become poets of meaning, seers without reference to the already known.
