The Journey
Ricardo Sánchez Corona grew up working with his parents and brothers in the chinampas of Xochimilco, south of Mexico City. From an early age, he learned to appreciate the small details and colors of life around him. He spent much of his free time drawing and painting life as he saw it.
He attended UNAM and studied architecture. His coursework included classes in watercolors, which he loved and excelled in. He studied under Lorenza Capdevielle.
In early 2020, he started what was planned to be a 1 month post-graduation trip through Baja California, after which he would return to CDMX to begin his architecture career. He was in Mulegé in February, when the world shut down. After many weeks there with little to do, he started painting after a generous expat gave him a block of Fabriano paper. As he painted throughout the town, locals and expats became very interested and excited over his work. He was commissioned for many paintings and murals. He discovered that watercolor painting was his true passion.
Since 2020, he has traveled throughout Mexico. The collection here represents many of the sights and images that inspired and moved him.
