What is the formula for life? What I would call the "intensification of BEING". When we are with our friends, our relatives, our loved ones. Accentuate our "beingness" or "aliveness", one way to do this is to think that we will never pass this way again. This moment will never be repeated again! When the moment is done, let it go! Knowing that we have tried our best to squeeze every juice from that moment. Someday, we will look back on some moments, but don't be sad that it's over, just smile that it happened. (The last sentence is from a saying, which I profoundly love.) Last word on the intensification of "being".... It's dangerous.

/ Can an essence of long ago be so strong as to be repeated again? Is this just an unconscious collective wish of humanity that is floating out into the ether? My time is running out. Who am I? My name is Richio Galvez. I am a person just painting in the past 3 years. but they told me to hurry up, stop wasting time and put it out there into the world! And so this is one sample of my works. Who is the culprit for this ? Vincent Van Gogh! . I just put up this website 3 months ago. I never really paid much attention to this small talent of mine, but when I look upon Vincent's works, something inside of me is awakened! Something dormant has been made to surface! In that billionth of a second so intense, so sublime, a feeling of oneness with the universe!! As if telling me, pick up a paint brush and start painting my dear Richio! In the past year I have made about 100 pieces or so. I am just in the process of copyrighting it, then it will be uploaded this month and I will shock the world! I do not understand a GOD that enjoys watching his children suffer again and again. I guess this is what the sages mean when they say trapped always in the cycle of birth and death. If angels are real, help me break this chain!!!! If any patron, corporation, entity, or any extra terrestrials want to support or want to purchase an original piece , contact the artist. Richio Galvez' paintings will be rare in the future. Richiogalvez@gmail.com

If you have a chance to look at the wonderful painting of Holbein, of which he painted his wife and children, the contrasting black background with the image, compels me to recreate this painting.

I only paint by instinct. I have only to look at Van Gogh's art and as if a sleepwalker guided by some invisible force, do what I need to do. Once I think i finish one painting, I sit down and look at it for about 1 hour while listening on headphones to my favorite music. At the same time sipping some wine. This is close to heaven for me.

Remember, it's better to listen to music if you have a good quality headphone.
It goes quicker and more intense to the brain. Use associations or future
memory.
