After pursuing studies in chemistry and pharmaceuticals, Ronal Bejarano arrived in Italy with the support of his family. He decided to devote himself to art as a self-taught artist, drawing on the invaluable support of friends and art critics who encouraged his innate vocation, which became increasingly evident as time passed.
The works of this Honduran-born artist oscillate in a constant illusion between figuration and abstraction, figure and ground, light and dark. Strong, vibrant, and often complementary colors facilitate this visual interplay of figures immersed in a monochromatic space, devoid of perspective, fleeting, and infinite.
The visual interpretation of Bejarano's works is a multi-layered process: what is perceived at first glance is only the tip of the iceberg of an aesthetic experience that goes beyond the subjects represented, since the intrinsic essence of his paintings is not immediately discernible.
The secret lies in clarity of vision, in the search for the essence, for truth amplified by the stylization of the figures represented that go beyond reality because the artist's interest is directed at actions, gestures, embraces, falls.
Through a personal style that recalls the ambivalent images of visual education, the acrylic chromatic material is composed of flat, smooth and continuous layers that gradually eliminate details and flow like an ever-changing energy in opposition to the plastic and static poses chosen to represent his subjects.
Bejarano's figures, seemingly fixed on the support, merge with each other through a hypersensitive pictorial flow: do the shadows themselves become part of the subject, or vice versa? It's impossible to distinguish where the human figure ends and its cast and reflected shadow begins, nor to understand at first glance where the profile of one subject ends and another, nearby, adjacent, or superimposed, begins.
