Ricardo Barraca’s background encompasses years of study and sheer fascination with the Ancient Mayan Culture. Many of his works can be seen in upscale Hotels and Resorts along the Mayan Riviera including Private Collectors and Professional Offices in Mexico, Canada and the USA.

As an Accomplished Photographer and Artist he became free to roam on a never-ending surface, which allowed his spirit to guide his hands and camera in creating Mystical as well as Mythological Mayan Art forms. His adventure soon became an Enlightening journey. Leading him to work with many spiritual guides.
Ricardo now, see’s all things being inter-connected. The past and present, the Earth, the Sky, Nature and movement similarly, so did the Maya!

All of Ricardo Barraca's original artworks are unique pieces that tell a story, He illustrates a myth or articulates the cultural events of the ancient Maya people. Whether it be through reenactment, travel or his own studies. Mayan Art, Architecture, warfare, mythology, traditions, history, and most importantly their achievements, are all reflective in his heart and work.

He hopes to share the fascinating style and energy of his Mayan Art, Photojournalistic style with the people of the world, and thereby facilitate increased cultural understanding and appreciation for what he believes to be The Greatest Civilization of all time, ''The Maya''.
