Since 2019, the GO Gallery has been exhibiting the work of Ricardo Cherbeluka in Amsterdam. Urban themes and every day life were the biggest inspirations for that first series of paintings.
When the artist stayed in Amsterdam for a few months, he made a successful series about the city, about the people, the streets and the legendary pubs.
Many of Cherbaluke's paintings have been purchased by collectors.

Ricardo Cherbeluka is a renowned artist from São Paulo, finds inspiration in the urban universe. His recent works capture the beauty of São Paulo's streets, cars, and graffiti, renewing our perception of space. With a refined technique honed through experience and practice, Cherbeluka combines painted elements with his artistic vision. His paintings evoke visual and aesthetic impact, addressing social and cultural issues. In his exploration of the city's ludic nature, the concrete jungle transforms into a romantic and serene landscape. From streets and tunnels to traffic and graffiti, Cherbeluka's artistic gaze encompasses every detail. Each painting is a testament to his visual intelligence, offering a fresh perspective on the world. With exhibitions worldwide, Cherbeluka continues to confront and solve aesthetic and social challenges through his art.

The urban universe is a motivator for the visual artist Cherbeluka. In his most recent works, he seeks what is lyrical in walking through the big capitals, in the streets and automobiles as well as in the graffiti scattered around the city. With each painting, our view of space is renewed. What exists in this creative process is the fusion of some important elements that articulate and accumulate with experience and practice. On one hand, there is the experience of the painted elements; on the other, the study and development of a refined technique over time; and still, the search for constant improvement. Painting is not a repetitive activity in which practice alone provides answers. The permanent exercise that makes the creator increasingly prepared to face the most diverse challenges, whether in themes, colors, or shapes - in short, in the interpretations of reality that he makes through his visual manifestation - must be associated with aesthetic thinking. Ricardo Cherbeluka offers urban landscapes, the result of a visual intelligence enhanced by the way he sees the world. His gaze finds beauty and creativity in the most disparate spaces, within the principle that each new painting is a way to confront and solve a visual question. This prevents complacency and leads to a renewed practice.

Oscar D'Ambrosio

Cherbeluka, a renowned artist and a benchmark in contemporary realism. He has been on his artistic journey from an early age, an artist who does not follow trends, determined to provoke curiosity and provide relief to our eyes.

He creates a magical atmosphere in his art, rich in perspectives with colors, places, and emotions. He invites us to experience situations from the great metropolises and the daily life captured through his lenses.

Cherbeluka makes us step into his canvases and relive his creations.

Nina Simone once said that "it is the duty of the artist to reflect the spirit of the times in which he lives." Ricardo's works fulfill precisely this function by dealing with various subjects and situations that gain special strength on his canvases. His works impact both visually and aesthetically. In the past, he navigated through various themes that denounce the socioeconomic conditions of Brazil. Today, the urban universe is the inspiration for the artist. In his most recent works, he seeks what is playful in the city of São Paulo. Cherbeluka accurately portrays the cityscapes with a unique and personal style. In his universe, the vast concrete jungle becomes more romantic, calmer, and much more beautiful. Nothing escapes his artistic gaze: the streets and tunnels, the cars and traffic, the art, and even graffiti on the walls are the protagonists. With each painting, our view of the space is renewed. This is the result of a visual intelligence refined by the way he sees the world. His gaze finds beauty and creativity in the most disparate spaces, based on the principle that each new painting is a way to confront and solve aesthetic and social issues.
