Seductive bubblegum pink, I just wouldn’t suggest you take a drink. Welcome to the world-famous Lake Retba also referred to as “Lac Rose”, but let’s just call it what it is, “The Pink Lake” and for those who love a bit of cross-country rally, the former arrival point of the “Dakar Rally”. This iconic landmark is literally only separated from the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean by a bank of sand dunes, oh the contrast.

Rico is not your fine-art educated type; there's no waffle and no literary enigma machines like dictionaries or thesauruses required to decode him. Yes, he will drop the occasional f-bomb. He is all visual, direct in speech, has a partial filter, and, if we're being honest, he is not keen on writing 'captions,' 'artist statements,' 'descriptions,' or 'bios.' These are the very things that tend to alienate many artists like himself, who aren’t silver-tongued wordsmiths with too much to say. So, we will keep it short and sweet: Rico takes photos. The End!
