Paintings by Rony Jobel is a business revolving around art, centring themes on flora and fauna of Belize. Exploring the parallel relationships between colour, texture, and patterns, Rony brings to life his creations that are very different from the art we are used to in Belize. Born in the beautiful town of Orange Walk in Northern Belize, we decided to ask Rony about his methods and views on art.
The strong family support allowed a path for a very young Rony Jobel to venture into. Exploring his artistic talents from a very young age, Rony decided to start with "crayons, makers, and paper." This technique was and still is something that makes him happy to create.
Jobel allows inspiration to flow through his work. Generating a picture within his mind, he visualizes what he wants his viewers' emotions to be. Many artists take inspiration from their surroundings, whether that be an illustration from nature or personal feelings. However, Rony says he has been looking at his surroundings, and he has decided not to follow this often used method to express art. Instead, he has decided to take a more unconventional way of showcasing his work. From canvases to recyclable material, Rony Jobel uses everything at his disposal, not just his surroundings. His artwork is unique in Belize, conveying a more profound message that leads art to a new direction in the country.
With such an in-depth knowledge of the land's ecosystem, Jobel puts the most exciting and intriguing pieces of art together. Through his mind, we get to appreciate art in an entirely new way. A way that is exceptional, beautiful and not yet seen in Belize.
Jobel brings to life his inspiration. Gathering inspiration from his surroundings, he creates the most unique pieces that connect with him, and in turn, connect with his audience.
Jobel believes in the uniqueness of each of his art pieces, these flow emotion the way he wants it to. Captivating his audience in this array of beauty, he brings to life art in an entirely new way.
As an artist, able to capture the attention of thousands, assist the less fortunate and raise awareness to natural resource conservation, Jobel really is that 'beacon of hope' for many Belizeans.
