Realistic acrylic painting of the Spanish painter Lluis Ribas with his painting Crisalda, painted by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering - the original painting is 90 x 120 cm and for sale
Ribas (ElMasnou, Barcelona,1949) is a Spanish painter whose large-format and hyper-realistic paintings mainly reflect the beauty of women framed in nature, preferably in the sea, although his portraits of Maghreb society are also excellent.
He studied until he was 18 at the prestigious2Escola Massana de Barcelona,where his teachers included Nel.lo, Noé and Parramón. However, he discovered painting from the hand of the artist José María Martínez much earlier, when he was only nine years old. In addition to directing photo novels and comic magazines, he worked as an illustrator, photographer and graphic designer before devoting himself exclusively to painting from 1975 onwards.
For almost 33 years now, Paul Meijering has been active with the paint brushes. As a 17- year old inspired youngster he joined the Academy of Arts in Enschede (Holland) in order to receive a native training in drawing- and painting technique.

After two years of useless botchery, there was only one conclusion to draw: 'get autodidact, be a self-taught person!' Paul then left the academy to work for a living, but at the back of his mind there always loomed the passion of his life: to paint. At his spare time he painted and his efforts are characteristic as far as man plays an important role are concerned, or to put it in his own words: 'Each human being tinkers at his own existence, it is the source of inspiration to explain the non-verbal by way of painting'.
The paintings attracted attention at various exhibitions and he was frequently approached by trades-people, hotel-keepers, merchants. These customers were for the most part interested in large wall-paintings and decorations. In the year 2000 the painter develops a speciality that's quite unique: he applies himself to paint football pictures. After a year he gets the chance to realize an open exhibition for an indefinite time as well with the Dutch Football Union 'KNVB' in Zeist as in
