It was mid-winter of 2008 when I first suggested this interview to Ron. The seed of what is here began with the Wikipedia article, Abstract Automatism (automatism abstrait du moment) as it was defined by the artist.
Join the thousands who have already discovered the cutting edge digital art and sardonic humor of Ron Maubidea.
After a recent celebration to commemorate the efforts of old friends, staff interns and artistic collaborators... it is once again an honor to see (metaphorically speaking) the banner of, Eminent Sound and Videoworks, Inc., hanging above my desk.
I wish to thank the following people for allowing me the privilege to have served the Artist Community of New York City between the years, Nineteen Hundred Eighty-Five through Nineteen Hundred Ninety-Four

Fresco Collection: The Lighter Side
The Lighter Side 2010… the most recent additions of Automatist Digital Sculpture to the Gallery Collection.
In this series, the artist has taken a contemporary approach to the Graphic Arts infusing his images with sarcasm and sardonic humor.
To be continued . . .
Gallery image: Confronting the Serpent: Garden of Eden
Pedestrian Reflections In Berlin... is an isolated corner of a much larger work which began in 2003. It is part of the “Alice in the Garden” series of three dimensional collage sculptures.
The series is an expanding collection of abstract expressions linked by a common theme. Much like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll… the art reflects the misadventures of a real life Alice, living on the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side 1984-1990.

Elizabeth Báthory: Silent Meditation on Vestigial Organisms
An intimate portrait of the infamous Hungarian Countess, Elizabeth Báthory.
It was once thought that organs such as the tonsils and the appendix were useless “leftovers”, footprints of mans evolution. Current research has determined that that the small pouch which extends off the large intestine (the appendix) is particularly useful fighting infections as a result of exposure to certain types of radiation and other conditions.
Charles Darwin put forth the theory; the appendix was used primarily to digest leaves and other vegetation in early primates. As man evolved, he has eaten fewer vegetables preferring a variety of meats. Consequently, the appendix (or vermiform appendix, also cecal appendix / vermix appendix) has grown considerably smaller to accommodate the increased size of our stomachs.
Disruption of the Perturbative overview in Quantum Mechanics
Asleep at the Helm (Parasitic life form feeding through a portal) is the fourth installment to the Neoclassical collection of Automatist digital sculpture.
It represents a complete departure of general subject themes and is the first in a new series of Futuristic renderings.
Haitian Creole Pudding: Happenstance and Feathers, is the newest addition to the gallery and unique to any in the collection. The painting is a series of stark black and white images peppered with soft coloured hues and crystalline highlights.
The digital canvas is a mélange of abstract portraiture, contrasting the refined detail of the surrealistic backdrop. Mardi, a veteran to Haitian falconry and her bird Tuti are the figurative subjects depicted in the painting.
In a vastly growing population of gallery images, the artist has once again shifted his focus. These recent contributions will be added to the Environmental – Landscape collection. Most notable are the impressionist renderings of; One Red Cherry, Mosquito Creek and Wild Berries.
Concomitant to these efforts are his absurdly explicit, sexual interpretations of human interaction amongst the current planetary Life forms. Sensual Carnivorosity of Forest Elves (an inter-species merger) is one such example of his continued exploration.
