Having spent decades studying books about the art, mythology, religion, and history of cultures from across geography and time, the Colorado-based artist Ravi Zupa creates a unique visual language which masterfully combines influences from German Renaissance printmakers, Flemish primitives, abstract expressionists, Japanese woodblock artists and Mughal painters to religious iconography from Europe, Asia, and Pre-Columbian Latin America, as well as revolutionary propaganda from around the world. His works integrate seemingly unrelated images in search of something universal.

His art has an old-looking aura while being colored with contemporaneity and political awareness, tackling issues such as violence, struggle, anarchism, dystopia, pop culture, power, ideology, and political figures, among others.

Throughout his multifaceted studio practice, Zupa has been using an endless range of mediums, from using paint on canvas to scrap newspaper and recycled media for collages, to using typewriter components to create sub-machine guns. (Mightier Than Series)
