Ricardo Cruz Fuentes

Ricardo Cruz Fuentes, born in Mexico City in 1982 when the days were less gray. Raised and lived in the State of Mexico the first 25 years of his life now currently based in the city of Pachuca, Hidalgo. “I showed artistic tendencies since childhood, and over the years led me to pursue an art career in Graphic Design. Today I am devoted to the visual arts.

With a few years devoted to painting I have achieved a significant number of sales throughout Mexico, the United States, Spain and Colombia”. He is now represented by Art Fusion Galleries of Miami, Florida, USA.
