Piece description from the artist
As I see it, the human figure embodies what life is all about, in more than the physical plane. It is the symbolic image of existence. Through the years, my morphic re-invention of the human figure has given meaning to the search for my own pictorial language.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in January,1955, Rubén Miranda started his career in fine arts in 1971, while completing his B.A. in Education at the University of Puerto Rico. There he studied printmaking, drawing, painting & sculpture under the wing of professors Felix Bonilla Norat, Luis Hernández Cruz & Susana Herrero among others.
