About Me
Meet Ariel a Cuban American artist and minimalist, who has chosen to embrace a simple, intentional way of life in order to fully immerse himself in his art and the natural world around him.
After years of feeling weighed down by the pressures of modern society, Ariel made the brave decision to downsize his possessions, sell everything, and hit the road in a converted van. With little more than the bare necessities, he has found a sense of freedom and creativity that he never thought possible.
Living in close proximity to nature has been a constant source of inspiration for Ariel’s art. Whether it’s the changing colors of the sky, the rustling of leaves in the wind, or the gentle ebb and flow of the ocean, he has found that there is endless beauty and wisdom to be found in the natural world.
But perhaps the greatest gift of minimalistic van life has been the opportunity for deep connection – both with others and with oneself. By simplifying his life Ariel has been able to cultivate more meaningful relationships and experiences with the people he meets on the road. Ariel has also found that the slower pace of life has allowed him to connect more deeply with his own thoughts, feelings, and creative impulses.
As an artist, Ariel is constantly seeking ways to push the boundaries of traditional art forms and create work that is both visually striking and emotionally impactful. Ariel’s journey as an artist shifted when his mother lost her sight due to a medical condition. Determined to find a way for her to experience his art once again, He began experimenting with textures and tactile elements in his pieces, creating works that could be felt and understood by the blind.
This experimentation led him to develop a unique style that combines traditional media with innovative materials and techniques. Ariel’s work has been exhibited in Art Basel Miami, NYC, and West Palm Beach, Mexico, his works have been praised for their ability to evoke strong emotions and engage the senses.
