Ángel Ricardo Rios (1965), Cuban artist who lives in Mexico since 1991. Studied arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Havana, also has a masters in sculpture. Leading role in the national and international art sphere, through the galleries, Nina Menocal, MITO and Terreno Valdio, in Mexico City. Jacobo Kapio and Klaus Steinmetz in Costa Rica, El Museo Gallery in Colombia, Fernando Pradilla and Angel Romero in Madrid and Sevil Sert Gallery in Istanbul.

The artist, expresses the culture of excess through his art, with squandered paint among the canvasses, not afraid to mix shapes and colors, with centrifugal movement, between figurative and abstract large- format pieces: an outrageously seductive intent, through stimulating and corporeal quality of the material.

“The pleasure was restored in its own right. To this could be called the seduction of material: smell, touch, sensuality, racking of pigments, gymnastics “…
