BEAUTY: Painting--Rubenmichi

Since I am basically a mystic at heart, I am drawn to the art of collective Rubenmichi.

Their site describes them and their imagery:
"Rubenimichi are Rubén, Michi and Luisjo; a kind of monster with three heads and six perfectly coordinated hands since 1996.

Figurative, symbolic and surreal, his work creates a kind of magical realism that invites the observer to let his imagination fly, getting lost in the intricate details of his paintings in search of his particular interpretation.

These paintings, often bright and luminous in their form, always enclose a dark, enigmatic and often malicious universe.

Continuous references to nature and magic are linked with citations to 15th century Flemish painting, the Pre-Raphaelites, Freemasonry, the circus or the dark part of History ... influences that fill the canvas with multiple symbols, often private and personal."

I'd love to get a look at their process and see how three men can paint a single painting.
