Raul de Nieves is a unique rarity of color and delirious art. Born
September 29, 1983 in Morelia Michuacan, Mexico. Ten years later he
was forced to flee to America and settled in San Diego. The
powerfully appealing Raul utilizes techniques written and described by
SALVADOR DALI. By using such knowledge, he creates explosive art full
of detail and obsession, which can be seen in his paintings,
installations, performance and costume work. It is his goal to produce
an environment that draws the viewer into his dynamically layered
world.
Raul currently resides in New York City where he has been working on
his latest installment of Mikilandia Productions, with the help of
Mikki M. Olson. This latest work is Blancas Negras, a blending of all
Raul's art forms without a shade of gray in sight. Forgetting what a
painting traditionally is, Raul cannot be contained on a two
dimensional plane. Painting and sculpture hold hands to create an
unconventional world where no rules exist an the performance of TRY
CRY TRY will sing their songs and dance their dances to a melody of
paranoiac critical thinking.
Open Saturday and Sunday from 3pm to 8pm or by appointment.
