Ruben Sanchez

Spain

"A journey with no destination."


Biography

Born and raised in Madrid, adopted by Barcelona and Dubai in the past years, Sánchez is a self-taught artist with a strong, colorful graphic style that resonates through all of his projects.

Coming from the cultural worlds of graffiti and skateboarding, Sánchez taught himself graphic design and illustration. In the mid 2000’s he mixed techniques and influences from each field, translating his vision to canvases, silkscreen, murals, reclaimed wood, sculptures or installations. Sanchez now lives and works in Dubai.
His artworks can be found all around the globe, part of arts festivals, humanitarian projects or international exhibitions. If you dissect his work you will find the avoidance of symmetry and perfect proportions, vibrant color palettes where you can depict different elements and characters in fragile balance. Visual tension, chain reactions and connectivity, always surrounded by a Mediterranean vibe, in this journey with no destination.
