ABOUT THE ARTIST
My name is Richard Ribetheri, and I am a basketball-inspired fine artist with a deep passion for honoring the legacy of the game’s greatest icon--Michael Jordan. What began as a spark during my college years has grown into an artistic journey defined by movement, emotion, and storytelling through paint.
As a lifelong fan of basketball—first in Lima, Peru, and now as a proud U.S. citizen living in New York—my work is more than visual art; it is a celebration of greatness, legacy, and the cultural impact of sport. Every brushstroke I lay is influenced by the intensity, grace, and inspiration that Michael Jordan has given to generations, including mine.
My paintings have been featured in some of the most vibrant and respected art communities in the world:
-
🖼️ Art Basel Miami – where my bold interpretations of MJ’s greatness stood beside some of today’s most dynamic contemporary artists.
-
🎨 Buenos Aires, Argentina – part of a high-profile group exhibition celebrating modern Latin American artistry.
-
Lima, Peru – my hometown, where it all began, and where my tribute to basketball was embraced by a passionate and growing collector base.
-
Today, my art lives in private collections, luxury homes, and corporate spaces around the world. Whether you're a fan, a fine art connoisseur, or a collector looking to invest in original work rooted in cultural excellence--my pieces offer something powerful, emotional, and iconic.
This isn’t just art—it’s a legacy on canvas.
Let’s connect, collaborate, and create something legendary.
