Latin American artist, Rodolfo Escalera, marched to the beat of his own drum. When the Mexican art movement was going in the very distinct direction of abstract and surrealistic styles, Escalera chose to go his own way; Realism. His inner creative spirit only found true satisfaction and fulfillment in painting the human anatomy, as well as life in general, the way he saw it... perfectly and in precise detail. The Mexican art scene had never, and has never, seen such a prolific artist as Escalera. He painted with a passion beyond the average persons comprehension, literally taking 20 years to complete just 5 paintings! Who does that? Very few people indeed! "Porque La Vida es Real", "Because Life is Real"... a mantra of sorts adopted by Escalera'a progeny in referencing his work.
