"Terry Rodgers, "The Ghosts of Liberation"| 2010 | 178cm x 213cm | oil on linen. In my paintings, I attempt to reflect my sense of the times we are living in, both how richly interesting they are and how difficult it is for most of us to navigate their uncharted waters. The scenes are imagined, but I use real people as reference to work from. The process often begins with seeing someone whose expressive possibilities strike me. I stop people in restaurants, on the street, in clubs—wherever I find individuals whose faces suggest both beauty and inner depth—arrange to photograph them. Then I wrestle with various photos to see which might “speak” to each other. By playing with them on the computer and drawing them I finally work out the designs. After resolving a design, I draw it out on the canvas; my underpainting roughs in the colors in acrylic, and then with the oil on linen." -www.terryrodgers.com
"Maiale nostrano in Woman verbs man di Ronald Riqueros YVY MAG ha sempre un gran fiuto nello scoprire nuovi talenti della fotografia: è di oggi un articolo dedicato a Ronald Riqueros, originario dell'Ecuador, ma residente a New York, con gli scatti di un servizio intitolato Woman verbs man. In sei scatti, Riqueros sintetizza l'evoluzione di una storia d'amore, raccontando la vendetta di una donna ferita dal compagno"
"Today we present a new photographer on YVY Mag, originally from Ecuador, Ronald Riqueros is an award-winning photographer and visual artist based in New York City.
Ronald shares with us this very fascinating editorial lensed exclusively for YVY. The name of the shoot is “Woman Verbs Man” and the concept is about a dark love story of a wounded woman who takes revenge on her man. With elements of fashion, sex and gore we could say this is the photographic adaption of Lady Gaga’s lyrics for her song “Bad Romance”. These pictures are featuring a new face, Italian/American model Claudio Delli Carpini, with only 18 years old and really hot!!!"

"El Festival de Cine Guayaquil Agüeyama 04 está organizado por el Centro de Formación Cinematográfica (Cefocine), una fundación de ayuda para la difusión audiovisual. “Se inscribieron cerca de 32 participantes. Tenemos animación, comedia, drama, suspenso. Se ha escogido lo mejor y hay un buen material”. En la primera edición de este festival se estrenaron más de veinte cortometrajes de excelente calidad. El público llenó las salas durante los tres días de exhibición. La espera Director: Ronald Hurtado (Later known as Ronald Riqueros) Ciudad de producción: Guayaquil Atelier Comunications Arts, 2004
"La proyección se inició a las 19h30 con la cinta Teléfono público, de Ronald Hurtado (Later known as Ronald Riqueros). “Muestro a gente que tiene problemas y diferentes visiones de la vida. Sus historias se conocen a través de sus conversaciones desde un teléfono público. Algunas de esas personas se vinculan sentimentalmente”, dice el director. Agrega que el guión lo escribió una semana después de que se acercó al mismo teléfono y llamó a alguien a contarle un problema de la universidad. Ese lugar se volvió su confesionario. Lo más difícil para el guionista y cineasta fue “dirigir a doce personas de diversas edades y, sobre todo, grabar la escena donde se besan dos actores que hacen de gays”. Hurtado/Riqueros es guayaquileño, tiene 19 años, estudia en el Instituto de Televisión (ITV) y Teléfono público es su primer cortometraje. Desea junto con unos amigos formar su productora para promover eventos culturales."
"...And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture."
