His artistic journey is an inspiring example of how creativity can evolve over time, defying traditional boundaries and constantly reinventing itself. Unlike many established artists who follow a conventional path, Eric’s background is anything but typical. He began his career in photography and design, eventually transitioning into advertising, all of which contributed to a diverse and multifaceted creative portfolio.
Eric’s work invites us to rethink how we perceive others and ourselves. In a world quick to judge and assume, he explores the complexity of human identity through his “paper sculpture collage” series. The works in this collection are not just portraits; they are emotional and psychological landscapes that reveal the often-hidden facets of personality. Eric uses paper sculptures that are twisted, torn, crumpled, and distorted to embody the imperfections and complexities of the human condition.
These sculptures are then photographed and digitally manipulated, collaged with other images to form abstract representations of identity. Through this process, Eric’s art exposes the depths of who we are—our fears, desires, and untold stories—challenging the viewer to look beyond the surface.
In Eric Ronshaugen’s world, life’s messiness and imperfections are not flaws to be hidden but sources of beauty and discovery. Each piece encourages the viewer to explore the hidden layers of human experience and identity, offering a glimpse into the richness and complexity of our inner lives.
