藝術家是頭銜，而不是「職業」。畫家可以投入繪畫，雕塑家可以從事雕刻，詩人也可以創作詩詞，但這些都不見得是藝術。

 

藝術元素是用奧妙的方式滲透進創作當中，因此創作者就成為了「藝術家」。藝術富有靈性高度和深度，將創作轉化成令人感動和難忘的作品。

 

我是個畫家，而繪畫就是我選擇的創作方式。當然，若是有知識涵養的人稱我為藝術家的話，我會感到欣慰。

ABOUT LEO RAY

里奧‧瑞是以色列籍的畫家、插畫家、平面藝術家和字形藝術家。他在西元1950年出生於立陶宛的維爾紐斯，從小就對藝術耳濡目染。從中學開始專研藝術範疇，並且在Vilnius University畢業後，繼續於紐爾紐斯藝術學院深造。他於1991年移民至以色列並且在特拉維夫定居，持續創作之餘，他也在 CAN New Artists’ Collegium和BASIS藝術學校從事教學工作。

 

里奧已經在以色列與立陶宛辦了25場個展。另外，他也參與在世界各地的展覽，包括歐洲 (法國、德國、奧地利、瑞典)和日本與美國，並且贏得各地的藝術大賞，包括: Jury prize of the Lithuanian Triennial of Medal Art (1987) 、Buchman-Heyman Foundation prize for painting (1998)、Jury 1st prize at the Small Graphics Salon in Baia Mare, Romania (2000)。

​

​他的作品靈感是來自於歷史事件、閱讀的文學著作和週遭的環境。他使用這些元素，創造出一幅幅令人印象深刻的圖像。里奧大多數的作品都沒有標題，因為顏色和形狀才是訴說故事的主宰。他的風格比較自由，不受侷限。他調和、混搭不同風格與元素，包括抽象、具象、字形、插畫和傳統油畫。畫作上的色彩匯集了多元的風格與視覺語言，讓整個觀賞體驗豐富且扣人心弦。
