Driven by adventure and inspired by nature, Ric Fedyna creates art that is informed by his experiences in the wild. He is an adventure seeker that paints, or rather; a painter that seeks adventure. He spends his time in the wild patiently observing the patterns of nature, the movement of animals, the sunrises and sunsets sweeping across the Western Canada landscapes. Ric predominately paints in acrylic, using a technique of adding and taking away, paint…sandpaper, paint, sandpaper. It’s how he achieves the many subtle layers to his pieces.
All this magic comes to life on canvas in his studio in southern BC. He loves to share stories of his adventures, the land and his experiences with the majestic creatures he paints. Ric will never let go of his passion for painting and his quest for adventure. It’s what feeds his soul. He hopes to leave a legacy of art that will be passed on for generations.
“I’m driven by adventure and inspired by the majestic creatures I choose to paint; I believe to make fantastic paintings of wild animals you need to put yourself in the fantastic places they live.”
