Ricky Corbett - United States of America
About the artist
Member since the very beginning
Rick Corbett (b. 1969) is an emerging artist who currently resides in Woburn, Massachusetts. He is inspired not only by other artists but from life itself. He is inspired by people, textures, smells, sounds, all of his senses seem to come alive when he draws. He often says that his drawings take him on an artistic journey of self discovery. That he feels his soul awaken when he draws. GOD has given him a gift and it�s a gift he hopes to use to bring people closer together. It�s a gift that he hopes to use to capture the beauty that�s in this World. He doesn't want his drawings to simply be pictures drawn on pieces of paper � he wants his drawings to be a celebration of life.
Artist Statement
My portraits are like my children. I created them and I�m proud of them. I hope to change the way people �see� each other. Everyone is special in their own special way. It�s those little unique nuances that everyone has is what I hope to capture in my portraits. It�s why I began drawing portraits, it just seemed natural. Every person is beautiful and I hope to bring out that beauty in each portrait I draw. I hope to bring out the person�s soul. GOD has given me a gift and it�s one that I hope to use to bring people closer together. It�s one I hope to bring everyone�s inner beauty out. It�s one that I hope to make us all learn something about ourselves.
