Biography:
From the beginning his work shows two main capital on which it rests, and that we must always bear in mind to appreciate it: matter and form. Unlike other artists, including those belonging to their historical moment and artistic content has always been an artist, or if you prefer, some spontaneous. Astist is a meditative and restrained in expression, always reflecting on the process leading from matter to spirit through art. Harmonic compositions of primary colors or clear, characteristic of his early period, Rueda went to work with greater pigment density, and deeper in color. But we can not forget his magnificent white and gray paint. Later in the seventies of the twentieth century began to use materials other than canvas own wood, paper, metal ... are characteristic tables with boxes of matches, painted in shades of one or more colors. A little later began to feel the influence of Pop Art, and to introduce objects of everyday life (often called "ready-made"): a washboard, a doorknob, a piece of old window frame .. . Rueda always find it now works that contain some element removed from everyday reality, reminding us that there is but look at what surrounds us in the most humble object to capture the grandeur of art. Wheel is definitely the artist of balance, harmony, and get their talents become transcendent beauty and our everyday reality.
