Ronald Kurniawan graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Inspired by ideograms, syllables, letterforms, beasts and heroic landscapes, he slowly but surely continues to create a visual language where the wilderness and civilization could merge happily together. With the belief that the sublime and nuclear age could coexist, he paints romantic environments and breaks the quiet scene with juxtaposed imagery taking the shape of icons and letterforms. Clients include Sony Pictures Entertainment, Mattel Inc., Turner Broadcasting System, Disney Consumer Products, Playmates Toys, General Mills, Design Studio Press, Vertex Productions, Centropolis Entertainment, AIGA Santa Fe, New Mexico, La Weekly, Plansponspor, Global Custodian and more.He currently lives and works in Los Angeles where he paints meticulously and happily accompanied by his pug Ruffles, an avid artist himself.
