47 x 36in (117 x  x 90cm) - oil on canvas - done in 2007

 

Pour and flow paintings evolved over many years from florals to landscape to more abstract expression. Lopez was moved by the impressions he created but stymied by the limitations of the canvas' flat surface. He discovered a new way of working with the pour and flow technique while on a trip to Santa Fe, N.M., where he happened upon the work of an artist who taught him to manipulate the canvas in unexpected ways. He spent the next few months learning the method of lifting, folding and waving the canvas, applying layer upon layer of color, to perfect his visions with dizzying results. Pour and flow is a method of painting in which paint is poured onto the canvas and gravity helps create images without the use of a single paintbrush.

His present pour and flow work was influenced by Paul Jenkins, a master pour and flow painter living in Paris, France. 

Ryan says "I choose the title of each piece at the end of creation or the name unfolds during the process of creation. Generally, I choose not to title what I see in my own mind. I prefer to choose an adjective or verb which exemplifies the energy of the piece. That way I do not identify the piece as I see it but rather leave it up to the observer to make that decision. I have always liked the look of watercolor and now I have been able to create that look on canvas. In 2008 I moved to South East Asia to pursue more (oriental design) in creation. Pieces like Butterfly and Oriental Garden were the beginnings of experimental paintings of an oriental theme".

However my love of nature and art, began and evolved from the beauty of the Mexico and South West deserts of America. "My work tends to mimic nature," he said. Jenkin's work is more abstract than mine, and I enjoy mimicking nature. Lopez rediscovered his passion for creating when he began experimenting with the pour and flow technique in the late 1990’s.

Working without thinking, in something of a trance-like state of being completely "present" in the moment, Lopez has created a body of work filled with ethereal images that, with few exceptions, seem to depict some of nature's most breathtaking scenes. With paintings bearing titles such as "Windstorm," "Slickrock" and "Fire and Ice," Lopez occasionally begins with an idea of what he wants to create. The unpredictable nature of paint pulled by gravity, however, often results in an entirely unexpected image. It is not uncommon for a single painting to be finished only after more than 20 layers of paint have been applied. With a drying period between applications, the pieces often take days from start to finish. "The canvas speaks back to me when I'm working," Lopez said. "The images depend on the mood. The process of creating is where the passion is." This is for all the marbles; this time it's for passion," Lopez said. "I want to release myself from this tension and go into the freedom of pure creativity. I don't want to wait. I want to do it while I'm young."

"Unstoppable" is Irresistible.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
History. I know people who shut down when they hear the word. I get it. I do that with algebra. I only wish there were books that enticed one to higher math like "Unstoppable" lures one to history. Joshua Greene has presented us with a book whose foundation is build upon the evils of pre-war Nazi Germany and horrors of the German death camps. On top of that foundation he built a structure that houses the triumphal life of a stalwart human being....Siggi Willzig. I confess to a reluctance to read the first few chapters of this book. I find it difficult to dive deep into the details of the evil humans do. It is far easier to take in only the overview, the broad sweeping view of an era. But a deep dive is required to fully understand history. There is no better vehicle for obtaining that understanding than the intimate life story of a person who survived that history. That is what Joshua Greene presents us with. This is not a depressing dissection of one of the darkest evils in modern history. To view "Unstoppable" in that light would be to sell it short. Nor is it a superficial cliche of poor boy makes good. It is, instead, an exploration of the triumph of the human spirit, of maintaining faith and human decency in the face of overwhelming trauma and against all odds. It is an object lesson in the perils of our post war culture complacently engaging in bigotry, and of one person's joyful refutation of that folly. Siggi Wilzig's story has found just the right oracle. Mr. Greene's style is as engaging and irresistible as Mr. Wilzig was unstoppable. He guides the reader thru both the darkness and light of Wilzig's story with equal sensitivity and insight. This is how history should be presented. It is a personal story thru which the ambiance and the flavor of eras are taken in. I hope this book serves as an open door to those who might otherwise shy away from history and the darkness that pervaded the years of WW II.....a darkness that was never fully extinguished and remains with us today. The best way to understand who we are now is to know where we came from. The old adage of history repeating itself comes to mind. "Unstoppable" will take its place in the bulwark which, I hope, will fend off that repetition.

Amazing and Fantastic
Format: Hardcover
Without a doubt one of the best books, I have ever read. Follows a holocaust survivor through the deplorable conditions at Auschwitz to the top of the mountain in New Jersey as he becomes the CEO of two significant corporations, an oil company and a bank. Having the wits and wherewithal to stay alive while 59 members of his family were killed by the Nazis and the grit and determination to fight the Federal Reserve was truly amazing. A true hero.

here's what bothers me
Format: Kindle
There's no doubt that Siggi Wilzig was an amazing person. Courageous, tough, persistent, smart and so much more. And there is also no doubt that the Holocaust was the most heinous crime, i.e. genicide in world history. However, I cannot help but wonder if we all continue to cling to our religious beliefs and allow it to separate us from one another, will we ever be able achieve world peace? Siggi talked about gentiles as if there were a different species and his dedication to jewish causes was impressive, but it also concerned me. Wouldn't our world be better off if we cared equally about every race, religion, nationality and such. After all religion is faith. It's NOT fact based. Religious beliefs are impossible to prove. They are simply beliefs and yet mankind continues to identify one another by our race, our religion, our national origin. We are all just human beings with the same wants and needs. YES, let's make sure the world never forgets the horrors of the Holocaust and ensure we don't allow such hatred and mass murder to ever occur again to any people. And yes, there is anti-semitism and white nationalists and rascism and hatred of immigrants or anyone who looks or acts differently from ourselves. But isn't this the cause we should all be trying to overcome. To simply treat one another as we ourselves want to be treated. Not because of our race, our religion or any other factor - but because we are all human beings and we need to be kind to one another. This is the greatest goal we should all be working towards. If there is a God, does he favor one religion over another or one race or country over another? Ask yourself this question. This is the problem I had reading this book and yet, I still have the greatest respect for Siggi Wilzig and found the book quite interesting and highly inspirational.
