Ryan Tatar

Ryan Tatar was one of the first artists that I contact to be part of the show here in Brasil. He was very kind and happy to be part of it... Here's the first of a series of interviews that will go with all the artists involved in this project. So, let's start with Ryan... a kind man, full of good images and stoked!
What´s you name and where are you from?
Ryan Tatar, San Diego, Calif.

When did you find out that you would be an artist?
I'm still working hard to call myself that...

What do you want to show to people when you do you art?
For those that don't surf, a view into life from the eye of a surfer.... for those that do surf, it is my take on ''surf culture' outside of popular mainstream perception.

What´s surf for you?
4-6 ft, offshore, and glassy at Tourmaline.

Can you tell us some highlights in your carrier?
Fine Art Sales W/W, Surfrider Art benefits, the Alma Surf Festival, and publishings in England, Germany, the Netherlands, Brasil, United States, and Australia.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Brasil?
Friendly and free people. Natural beauty. Endless rain forests. Too many Skol's at a rain-drenched carnaval a few years ago...

How do you feel to be part of an art show over here in Santos city?
STOKED.

Some words to the people that will see your work in Brasil...
"Obrigado."
