FRANCISCO RODRÍGUEZ RUIZ (Zujar, Granada, 1982). "La moto de cuerda". Acrylic on panel. Signed in the lower right-hand corner. Measurements: 80 x 99 cm; 91 x 110 cm (frame). We are dealing with a painter with a realistic technique but who takes his inspiration from dreams and memory, as he himself states: "Sometimes I go back to familiar landscapes that sleep inside me, the dream of memory. And it is childhood with its games full of everyday and fantastic objects. And it is the longing for that which I have left behind and which appears to me more vivid than ever in the landscape of memory". Self-taught, Francisco Rodríguez Ruiz studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Terrassa, and Aerography at the School of Joso.
