Ralph Miller
Ralph Miller (born 1954) is a contemporary visual and experiential artist of
Nicaraguan descent who began painting as a young boy. He is influenced
by 20th-century Caribbean artists, Peña-Defilló (“Papo”), Perez, and
Cruz. Growing up in Managua, Santo Domingo, and Miami, he embraced a
Caribbean color scheme of bright blues, yellows, greens, and reds.
Leveraging his passion for the gesture is the basis for creating
decisively-charged and shamelessly whimsical impressionistic works
exploring concepts of movement, shapes, and color.
When seen through the lens of his camera, a world of images and
juxtapositions emerge. Having earned a living as a professional
photographer for many years, Ralph gained an appreciation and quickness
for capturing iconic, moving moments, reflective of the turmoil in our
lives and the simple moments that linger in our memories for years to
come.
