Vasija coronada. Ruby Rumié.
Born in Cartagena de Indias (1958), Ruby Rumié studied in the Fine Arts School of Cartagena de Indias. Since her first exhibition (1985) in Cartagena, in which she was clearly influenced by the hyper-realism, Ruby has tried to reflect the face of characters belonging to the Cartagenian landscape, being then the coachmen, musicians, barbers, children, women, old men and black nobles, the protagonists of detailedly made portraits. The assembly with dolls and geometrical accessories has been another period through which Ruby's artistic life has passed, who was also interested in acrylic technique, as the outstanding characteristic in some of her creations. We can talk about an evolution in which Ruby has taken as departure point the classic to reach to alternative presentations in which she achieves to involve painting, photography and other techniques to show her change of perspective. She has made important exhibitions in: Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cartagena; Santiago de Chile; Miami; Nueva York; Washington; Rouen; París. Rumie participated recently in the international section of the First Contemporary Art Bienal of Cartagena de Indias. She actually lives and works between Cartagena in Colombia and Santiago de Chile. |
