Andrés Rueda

As an artist, my purpose is to capture the intangible: the emotion hidden within a landscape, the memory awakened by a color, the whisper of light upon matter. My work arises from a deep need to translate the inner world into visual atmospheres that invite contemplation and remembrance.

Inspired by the legacy of French Impressionism, my painting is built upon light, movement, and chromatic vibration. I do not seek to represent reality as it is, but rather as it feels. Each brushstroke is an echo of lived experience, a reflection of dreams.

My landscapes belong to no specific place, yet we have all walked through them. They are fragments of collective memory—emotional spaces where the viewer can recognize themselves, get lost, or simply drift. In each piece, there is a search for harmony between the ephemeral and the eternal, between the visible and the suggested.

From my beginnings in Piedrahita to international exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, my journey has been one of constant exploration. Today, I present this collection as an invitation to look beyond the image—to feel with the eyes and remember with the soul.

André’s art is like plunging oneself into the palette, a deep dive into the paint. In his impressionist style, that impression starts with each splash, with each tidbit of paint and with each detail, every element congregates to give us a landscape filled with energy. His brushstrokes seem rushed, but a more attentive look can perceive that they are meticulously calculated, only conveying the quintessential and reflecting the purity and “simplicity” of nature, in a unique and contagious atmosphere.

André, through the paint’s plasticity, reveal us landscapes filled with colour and emotion. The elusive contours make the painting’s main structure shift between the figurative and the abstract colour patterns. This combination made of layers, impastos and pigments, concatenated under an “instantaneous brushstroke”, is able to capture a moment that has external and internal traits. His paint seems to be as alive as nature itself, thus extending his presence and movement to the point where it goes beyond the painting’s boundaries and drips into impastos that have the everlasting energy of springtime.

Even though the paint is part of the chemistry realm, his mixture is more optical than technical, there’s something electric in his colour...
