Born in 1993 in Lisbon, Portugal, Pedro Ruxa lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.

Pedro Ruxa is a painter whose work balances intellectual inquiry with striking visual presence. With a background that bridges artistic practice and academic research, Ruxa explores painting as both a technical discipline and a philosophical investigation. His canvases are meticulously crafted, with vivid color fields and precise detail that immediately capture the eye, yet their true resonance lies beyond first impressions.

At the heart of Ruxa’s work is a duality: the paintings operate on the level of immediate sensation, while simultaneously opening pathways to layered interpretations. Color, form, and representation are reduced to their essential structures, leaving behind a residue of meaning, something like a distilled emotion or thought. Viewed together, these works construct an atmosphere that is at once poetic and enigmatic, inviting viewers into a space where intellect and perception remain in delicate tension. Each canvas functions like a visual poem: minimal in language, but inexhaustible in possible readings.

Acrylic on canvas 
2020
A life-size portrait of the artist making love to a giant letter U, as a semantical metaphor for the Other, 'You'. Purposely the size of a Queen sized mattress as a reference to gay culture vocabulary, this work reflects on the artist's past relationships. A seemingly dialogue between the artist and language, the painting actually becomes the artist's own monologue.
