© CURV 541 - Mirando el faro del Fangar (2024) Painting by Richard Martin Vidal

Richard Martin Vidal is a contemporary artist based in Spain, born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1968. A painter, photographer, and graphic artist, he is deeply influenced by his multicultural background, which blends two distinct cultures and shapes his artistic identity. Vidal’s work is centered around the curve, which he sees as a fundamental element in both his creative process and his investigation of the interconnectedness of nature on a global scale.

His distinctive style explores the fluidity and interconnection of forms, drawing from informalism and surrealism, among other currents. Vidal believes that art is a dynamic, unconscious process that allows the viewer to derive personal meaning from each piece. He invites viewers to engage with his work through the duality of perception and imagination, encouraging them to create their own narrative based on their individual experiences, age, and cultural backgrounds. According to Vidal, "the work does not have a single meaning; it is multiplexed depending on our experience and vision of the world."

Vidal’s artistic philosophy draws inspiration from the natural world and the mathematical principles of curvature, referencing the work of Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonacci), who discovered the order of growth in nature. Vidal sees curvature as an intrinsic aspect of everything around us, linking humans to the universe in ways we may not yet fully understand. His work aims to awaken a sense of humanity in the viewer, prompting a personal journey of meaning construction grounded in synchronicity and the collective unconscious, concepts famously explored by Carl Jung.
