THE PAINTINGS AND
PHOTOS OF MR. WARD AND DANIEL LOUIS RIVAS
"I said to Marlon
Brando once... you can't hurt me fat ass"
The art of Tony
Ward and Daniel Louis Rivas is a culmination of
emotions,
experiences and places.
Things that once were and things that will never
be again. Passing moments and
uncertain futures. Looking inward and looking to
the vast surrounding of their changing universe.
The parallels of these two artists are that they
met and collaborated at the
crossroads of their journey to express thy self.
Be it photography or painting.
The things they have in common and the things
that distinguish them separately.
Questioning authority and questioning
themselves.
Why?
To be an artist, to live out loud.

posed there on request.
