Ronald Paredes is a Latin American artist, graphic designer and podcaster from Caracas, Venezuela. Born and raised in a family of painters and designers, he has always been in contact with the graphic arts and visual communication. Influenced by both parents, he found himself balancing his professional life between his three passions: painting, graphic design and psychology. With over 20 years of experience in the creative industry, he balances personal projects as a visual artist with work in the advertising industry. Lately, he started conducting studies and research on the subject of creativity and its connections with psychology, neuroscience and creative inhibitions as ways to rediscover our natural creative capacities. He also publishes The Creativity Roots podcast on iTunes.
