Ricardo Noel Manzo of always was a "Renaissance Man" breed into elegance by his parents, the affinity for good taste shows in many of facets of the persona of this man fused into a character that is very pleasing to deal with...this is the child, the man the Artist.  Of always Ricardo gazed at the horizon and looking back only to feel and visit in exchange of a learned lesson and avoiding waste.  Time has always been a precious commodity for him and thus he structures it with value and meaning,  to canvas the future you need insight and desire and Ricardo always had that thus he commands his own trend...a rare quality in today's market-- never underestimate him on this, for he is more than capable to surprise you.

As an Artist...Ricardo feels with his eyes and voices only what is proper...his silence can run for miles but his eyes are ever colloquial and inviting into his ever fertile mind of color and design...make no mistake the possibilities are simply endless and untiring.  He learned art at his will by impression...a lasting impression caused to him by the great masters of color and form like Goya and Salvador Dali, he felt compelled to created and craft in a two dimensional form the lexicon that those men left for all of us to behold and decipher...his own understanding and passion from the mind to the hand but "Through" the heart, moving forward and seeking or experimenting and never failing at this.  Ricardo while residing in Europe not only find a cohesion to the artistic routine that is so evident in your everyday, but also architecture, fashion and history...but salient is the factor of music.  Music is the bride of Commanders, the muse of every Bohemian and the Angel to the sick and those in despair...Ricardo feels with his eyes as an Artist to lay out and create a flow, yes...but this man speaks with music.. he creates a dialog with music which in turns fuels this appetite for his feelings to become Art...and that is so ever special in a person responsible of moving your mirage in a two dimensional form in a span of ten seconds, the power of his capacity is immense armed with a focus that yields not this man is an artist in his own class, flexible and unassuming his musical range can read from Peter Gabriel to Orbit or Bjork with no flaw and attention to detail.  Ricardo has always been way ahead of us in this quality furthermore an example.  The very same propensity for fine art reflects on Cinema where the once fixed images are actually in motion and they have little time before they too become trite. Underestimate him not on this...motion and velocity or even changes he has proven capable of dealing with.

Ricardo affinity for life and the blessing of such brings him to a visceral understanding of those things that take from life...like war, and he picks not the milked out drama but rather the rhetoric of youth, of youth to live and be had in such a difficile era...that is not only discipline, iron and blood but also of color, of symbols and forms that at that time did came to define not a flag but a culture--thus his pinups and the sultry imagination they carry for us to enjoy.


Ricardo designs in artistic form are accommodating and they seek a home of proper balance, where color and amplitude of such are complimented by lines not by what the host says over a 1982 Bollinger RD. He is always serious on this and he does it in a intelligent form...not to amaze you or entertain you...but to rather put results that are of proper artistic context.  Professional and dedicated this man never fails at this thus allow him his latitude, Ricardo will not disappoint he cannot disappoint for success to him is something you write on your log book...to create a lasting expression that can bear his name, that can be exposed on the wall of a home for even the eyes of Laura Mars to judge is his driven appeal, his pleasuring challenge and his mission.  In reality any other way of placing it I feel...we feel, that then... it will be another artist of an intermittent light, a known vanity and a boring scandal.
For many years I have looked into his meaning as an artist, his battles and aspirations...his array of designs and body of work, which he approaches with humility and respect, Ricardo is "THE" man that embodies the profound statement of the great Michele Equiem Montaige  "It is the Mind that listens...the Mind...that sees".
