ABOUT RUIBAL

Forty years ago, when Manolo Ruibal presented his first exhibition at the Chys Gallery in Murcia, undoubtedly he felt the initial emotion of somebody who has reached their target, someone who has published their first book, brought out their first record, had their first child or planted their first tree. Now, forty years later, as he looks through the pages of this catalogue booklet, he must be thinking that he has come a long way but it was worth the effort. Even as a child, he always wanted to be an artist and to do so, he had to dodge the numerous obstacles face all those that have everything against them. In his favour was his unquivering desire to reach his goal, which in the end won the battle against the former, the obstacles.
