Ruben Carrasco

Ruben Carrasco est né et a grandi au Mexique; il a été exposé à l’art dès son plus jeune âge grâce à sa mère, qui a un vif intérêt pour l’art. Sa formation artistique formelle a commencé au Mexique lorsqu’il a rejoint l’Institut des arts visuels. Depuis, il a poursuivi ses études à l’Université Anahuac de Cancun, au Mexique, puis à l’Université McGill et au Collège Dawson à Montréal, au Canada. Au cours de son expérience professionnelle, il a également travaillé comme tatoueur, scénographe, muraliste, photographe, graphiste et artiste numérique. Il a une approche multiforme en termes de technique et de style.

Voyageur du monde, Ruben a vécu à travers l’Europe et l’Amérique en travaillant et en exposant dans divers pays. Actuellement, il est basé à Montréal où il a collaboré avec le consulat général du Mexique en tant que membre du jury du comité d’évaluation des expositions d’art pour «Espacio México». De plus, Ruben a fondé le collectif international d’artistes “5 Wolves No Pigs” et a cofondé les festivals d’art FIAP et IPAF.

Artwork description

“The Black Bear” represents an indigenous guardian taking care of nature. The mural reminds us that people and animals depend on the health of their natural environment.

Elements have been carefully selected to interact with the neighborhood. Some bird species were chosen by the residents facing the wall, and others by the children wandering these streets… a dialogue was born throughout the process of creating the mural.

Concerned and particularly moved by the ecological impact we have on the environment, I set myself the goal of using as few materials as possible to paint this fresco. I therefore used a minimum of acrylic paint to reduce waste. (2.7 lt).
