There have been many artistic influences in Richard's abstract work. However, one of the earliest is the Russian artist Kasimir Malevich whose painting “Black Square on a Black Background” (1917?) was probably the starting point for his Abstract aesthetic journey. An early example of that influence can be seen in the illustrated watercolour “Black Hole” which has an astronomic reference.
