Commentary: Richard Salcido’s creations are captivating, haunting and fleeting. Human female forms emerge from densely laid patterns and loose threads. The female forms are clad, seductive in nature, eyes staring directly at the viewer. Heavy impasto techniques applied with and over the forms add to the ethereal affect of the painting. Richard’s subjects evoke a feelings of personal revolution. His figures possess a religious mythological base, often evoking qualities reminiscent of the Virgin Mary or mother Teresa in somewhat desolate or unnerved states.
