Andrés Rubio is a Colombian-American artist whose creative journey began long before he formally embraced art as his vocation. Trained as an architect, Rubio developed an early sensitivity to structure, proportion, and the interplay of light and shadow. Yet it was his lifelong connection to art and an innate drive for expression that ultimately defined his path as an artist.

For more than a decade, Rubio traveled the world as an Art Gallery Director aboard luxury cruise ships — a role that immersed him in the global art market and brought him into close dialogue with collectors and artists alike. While he found fulfillment in placing the works of others into private collections, he ultimately realized that his true calling was not only to sell art, but to create it.

Rubio’s artistic language fuses the precision of architecture with the emotion of abstraction. His work explores transformation — of surfaces, perception, and meaning. Using canvas as both subject and medium, he reimagines its materiality by infusing it with reflective, light-reactive qualities that shift with movement and perspective.

This reflective interplay functions as both visual strategy and metaphor. Rubio’s art speaks to resilience and authenticity — the idea that no matter how one is perceived, individuality and inner light remain constant. His compositions embody a dialogue between stillness and motion, between what is seen and what is felt.

Through his practice, Andrés Rubio invites viewers to experience abstraction as a mirror of life itself — a meditation on change, renewal, and the enduring power of transformation.
