Description
This is an attempt to capture on canvas that which, by its very nature, escapes observation. The title of the painting points directly to its essence: we are presented not merely with a passing moment, but with something inherently elusive, existing on the threshold between the visible and the vanishing.
The central structure no longer obeys gravity or conventional logic. Tilted, transparent, and filled with air and light, it resembles a fragile portal or a phantasmal volume drifting through space. Within this elusive object, opposing states collide: a muted, hazy gray core, a flash of warm gold, and a dense, strictly anchored blue-violet accent—as if representing the mind's attempt to grasp and retain at least a single point of reference.
Ruano creates a visual metaphor for an elusive thought or memory: the rigid framework of geometry tries to enclose something fluid and ethereal within a form, yet the form itself is already shifting, dissolving, and slipping out of the frame, leaving only a trace behind.
Presentation
Born in Tetouan, Morocco, in 1938. He studied in Madrid until 1958, returning to Morocco where he remained until 1969.
From 1960 to 1965, he taught drawing classes, hired by the Government of Morocco, and from that year to 1968, resides in Kenitra as Director of the Spanish Cultural Mission in that city.
It has belonged to the so-called "School of Tetouan", composed of Spanish and Moroccan artists, with whom he collaborated in collective exhibitions and various artistic manifestations.
He has made numerous murals, works of architecture, design and urbanism. It has works in official and private collections in Spain, Morocco, France, USA, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Ireland and Germany.
It is represented in the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art of Cuenca, Provincial Museum of BB.AA. of Malaga, Museum of Africa in Madrid, Museum of Contemporary Spanish Engraving, Pablo Ruiz Picasso Foundation, etc.
Medal of the City of Málaga 2014 and Adoptive Son of the same.
