Ruben Millares: Paint by Numbers

“Paint by Numbers” comprises large works on canvas and more intimate pieces made in vellum by Miami-born and based artist Ruben Millares. Millers is an accountant, his world is full of numbers and so are his works:in some sort of professional deformation numbers eventually become people, houses, food, anything and everything. Numbers are codes that can decipher contemporary society, making personal something that otherwise could be seen as impersonal and cold.
