Selected Works In Memory of Isaac Rios | Images © Copyright 1975 - 1976 Isaac Rios
In memory of my Tio Isaac who recently passed away. He was an incredibly talented artist in his younger days, and I wish the world could have seen more of his work. He had a natural ability to capture the beauty and pure essence of a moment. When speaking about artistic abilites, I think that’s the one thing we all strive for - to capture moments and emotion with just a few simple strokes.
Rest in peace Tio, I wish we could have drawn together sometime.

My first visual experiences with art were via my Tio, Isaac. As a child, my goal for adulthood was to be as good as he was. The man was incredibly talented, and was able to capture moments the way moments were meant to be captured. I wasn’t alive in 1975, I wasn’t even a blip of a thought, but having this piece brings me there. It gives me a memory; stored not in my mind, but my heart, of my parents enjoying life together in those free and happy days.
