When we think of artwork, we usually think of paintings and sculptures and when we think of photographs, we imagine the traditional black and white and colored photographs exhibited at the galleries.
Ron Sharpe has opened a photo-art gallery for Paintographs. this is a new technique that utilizes sophisticated computer software which transforms the traditional photographs into artwork, indistinguishable from oil and watercolor paintings. He calls them TAKE 'N' FAKE™.
The idea came to him while he was enlarging his digital photographs and using computer software to retouch and enhance photos.
He then prints these images on canvas, when, after matting and framing, makes them similar to real paintings.
A limited edition certificate of authenticity accompanies each work of art.
Ron Sharpe was born in Melbourne, Australia. He has lived in many countries, always with a camera in hand. He has captured the real world with his camera which he has memorialized in his hundreds of beautiful photographs.
Ron has exhibited and won awards, among others, at the International Nikon photography Contest in Japan.
Ron Sharpe's unique gallery in Rosarito, believed to be the first in the world of this magnitude, feature more than 200 Paintographs and more than 100 scenes from around the world.
Ron quotes: "It is a beautiful world and it is all there for the TAKING AND FAKING, with each picture telling a different story".
Every one of his artworks' have a theme and message. These photographs have a lot of beauty and lots of emotion. The themes include landscapes, seascapes, floral fantasies, architectural subjects, NASA, and some beauties, young and old, from around the world.

The prices for his artworks start at $20.00 dollars and from the proceeds of every sale, a minimum of 25% will be donated to a local charity of your choice, such as CRUZ ROJA, DIF, FLYING SAMARITANS, etc.
