Artist
Most of my subject matter is nature-inspired, whether it is a botanical specimen, traditional landscape, or billowy clouds in the sky. My art translates the subject into whimsically mysterious, albeit, identifiable forms. I use encaustic materials (beeswax and damar resin), pigments, shellac and a propane torch to create art on birch panels. The ancient painting medium — encaustics — was first used by Greek artists as far back as the 5th century B.C. The medium seduces me to be experimental and playful. Fire and wax dance to my music— orchestrated and serendipitous. My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more creatively at the world around them, to discover beauty reflected in ordinary and treasured places and things in the world we all share.

Holi Celebration by Richard Coico (2022)

I paint with fire. Encaustic art is produced using pigmented resin-based beeswax which is highly archival and was originally developed by ancient Greeks centuries ago.... abstract landscape, vibrant colors, modern art, emotional expression, dreamlike, dynamic composition, colorful textures, serene atmosphere, fluid forms, contemporary painting This captivating artwork invites viewers into a vibrant dreamscape, where colors dance and blend in harmonious chaos. The dynamic interplay of warm reds, cool blues, and ethereal whites creates a sense of movement, evoking emotions of passion and serenity. This piece challenges the boundaries of traditional painting, offering an immersive experience that inspires contemplation and imagination. Ideal for modern interiors, it serves as a striking focal point that sparks conversation and invites emotional connection. The painting features an abstract landscape filled with swirling colors and textures. Dominant hues of red and orange create a fiery foreground, while cooler shades of blue and purple fade into the background. Wispy white lines traverse the canvas, suggesting clouds or vapor, adding a sense of ethereality. The composition is dynamic, with flowing forms that lead the eye across the surface. Light appears to emanate from various points, enhancing the depth and layering of colors. The texture is rich and varied, from smooth areas to those with more pronounced brushwork, creating a tactile visual experience. This painting shares visual similarities with works by artists like Mark Rothko and Claude Monet, both known for their expressive use of color and abstraction. Rothko's color fields evoke deep emotional responses, while Monet's impressionistic landscapes capture light and atmosphere in fluid brushstrokes. The blending of hues and ethereal quality in this piece resonates with their styles, creating a sensory experience that transcends traditional representation.
