Art Madrid'24 – Rubén Martín de Lucas
Rubén Martín de Lucas
Madrid, 1977
Rubén Martín de Lucas studied a Degree in Civil and Territorial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, though he declined to work as an engineer to devote himself completely to the painting. The connections between painting, engineering and urban art merge in a personal work that has as main subject the landscape and the associated behaviour, that is, the links and behaviour patterns that we originate in regards to the territory.
Martín de Lucas was the co-founder of the collective Boa Mistura, a multidisciplinary group of artists with roots in the urban art that has made projects in Brazil, Panama, Mexico, Norway, Algeria, Georgia and South Africa, as well as projects with the Reina Sofia Museum, La Casa Encendida and the CAC Malaga. Among the recognition he has received, we must highlight the First Award in XVII Painting Contest in Gran Canaria, Acquiring Award in IV Biennial of Painting and Sculpture in Burgos, First Award IX Barceló Foundation Contest in Palma de Mallorca.
