Ryan Pola is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory
Ryan Pola is an artist from Melbourne Australia who has always had an interest in creative methods of representing ideas and interpretations of the world around him. This is a passion he has carried since a young child. Studying a Bachelor of Visual Art and a Bachelor of Education he now works as a graphite artist and an educator. Being able to connect with young artists and share creative passion is just as important as being able to create his own work.
Drawing eventually became a love as well as a passion. For some time now Pola has been refining his drawing abilities to be able to translate ideas and feelings from his mind to the paper. Recently Pola was proud to win the Southern Buoy Portrait Prize (2022) & the Rainbow Award, Biblio Art Prize (2022).

A lot of the art he creates explores notions of representing or personifying mythology, drawing deeply from Greek tales as inspiration for allegories of the human condition. People, flora, and poetry play equal parts in the process of creating the artworks. Using real life relationships the subjects in the artwork layer personal connections and histories. Flora are present en masse around the figures. The overwhelming and consuming masses of flowers dually shift between symbiotic and parasitic bonds with the figures. Often while creating these drawings poetry comes as a demand rather than an additional outlet. Words are becoming equally as important as the graphite on the page, the poems delving into similar ideas as the drawn artworks.
