Ron Braveman has been a Los Angeles-based artist for about 25 years.
After studying fine art at the University of Hartford’s Art School, he lived in New York City and Los Angeles, continuing to hone his skills by taking classes at Pratt Institute, the School of Visual Arts, Otis College of Art and Design, Art Center College of Design, and other schools.
He primarily works with watercolor, acrylics, pens, pencils, and gouache on paper and canvas. After being commissioned multiple times in 2018 to create original maps of specific places, he discovered that streets, architecture, and various repeating patterns provide endless inspiration.
Once a work begins, it is an intuitive process for him. He pursues a theme until it resembles his mood, most often painting in a peaceful and calm, meditative state. There is no recipe that is replicated from one work to the next; every piece is unique. He manipulates each work until it seems to breathe on its own.
