Embark on a journey of self-discovery at Ross Collado”s art exhibition, where intimate “self-portraits” serve as mirrors reflecting both personal introspection and the perceptions of those closest to Ross. Through brushwork and poignant symbolism, Ross offers a dual narrative, inviting viewers to witness the juxtaposition between self-perception and external interpretation. Delving into the depths of identity, Ross explores the nuances of self-representation while shedding light on the tender gaze of loved ones. This exhibition serves as a captivating exploration of the dynamic interplay between internal and external perspectives, offering a profound meditation on the complexities of human connection and self-awareness.
Dear Ross,
I believe people come to our lives for many reasons; you are my example of living fully, deeply, and without apology in the full range that life has to offer, both good and bad.
You amaze me in your ability to be both a playful child of wonder and a man of deep emotional intensity.
Like all good mystics you know that the seed of light comes from the shadows. As you explore these shadows you always seem to be guided by an indomitable lightness of heart. I want you to know that this beautiful brightness and this dance of joy and sadness are what make me love you so deeply.
Your creations of light and dark bless the world and dance in my heart. Knowing you makes the world more beautiful.
John
