Video Interview with Ricardo Mazal


Discussing his process and the impetus behind his most recent project in Odenwald Forest in Germany, Ricardo Mazal can be seen at http://artworksmagazine.com/?p=733. Second in a planned triptych with the common theme of death and burial - although Ricardo sees it as a larger celebration of life and living - the photographs, prints, and paintings of the Odenwald trees is a fascinating look at what inspires an artist and informs his creativity. Beginning with his series on La Tumba de la Reina Roja (The Tomb of the Red Queen), a Mayan burial site in Mazal's native Mexico, and continuing with the Odenwald burial trees, Ricardo will finish the triptych with a journey to Mount Kailash’s sky burials, Tibet, in 2009.
