  • "Rubén Ríos...In his professional artistic manifestation, which began in the early '70s, spontaneuosly suggests ideas such as the matriarchal concept of the Puerto Rican society, and the reverence for Mother Earth...Our Homeland; which have always been pillars of his creation...as expressed in the content of his pieces."

    -Arturo V. Báez, "RUBEN RIOS...The artist's dimensional and pictorial transmutation!" Latin American Art Magazine (Edition No.3 / January - June 2013)

  • "The artist's creative process is complex as it is given the moment by which he can combine a motive, or an inspirational source with the means and the technique, as well as a certain style that best viable his ideas."

    -Myrna E. Rodríguez, AICA, Professor & Art Critic for the "APOCALYPTO 2012" Exhibition (2010) / San Juan, PR

  • "It remains to be added that the work of Rubén Ríos is part of our cultural heritage, given the educational wealth of his content that always assists us in remembering our socio-cultural origin for the benefit of future generations; synonymous of TRANSCENDENCY"

    -Arturo V. Báez, "RUBEN RIOS...The artist's dimensional and pictorial transmutation!" Latin American Art Magazine (Edition No.3 / January - June 2013)

  • "In his gallery at Canals Street in Santurce_next to the busy Plaza del Mercado (La Placita), of course_colorful figures of an impossible stoicism make more evident the culture to which they pay homage. Beings of fantasy and magic dwell in a space that traps spectators and forces them to become part of a strange dimension."

    -Max Resto, "The true meaning of 'naif' " Porfolio / The San Juan Star newspaper / San Juan, PR (May/29/1999)

  • "Ruben Rios ventures into abstract forms reflecting with color, geometry and lines the presence of a littoral bounded by the sea and winds."

    -Jorge Rodríguez for "ANTILLANOS" (NY, USA) / "Antillanos en Manhattan" Escenario / El Vocero newspaper / San Juan, PR (Sept/25/2010)

  • "Like any product of the sensitivity expression, Ruben's work has undergone a series of transformations along its path. From a surreal abstractionism, worked through the ink, to the suggestive figurative expressionism, that has been cultivated for several years through air brush."

    -Mario Alegre Barrios, "El entorno espiritual en la obra de Rubén Ríos" Arte-Por Dentro / El Nuevo Día newspaper / San Juan, PR (Aug/18/1991)
