Rodolfo Nieto was an outstanding artist with strong plastic roots linked to the culture of his land, but with a much more contemporary vision. Between 1953 and 1954 he attended La Esmeralda, where he was Diego Rivera"s assistant and had Juan Soriano and other teachers as a mentor who encouraged him to exhibit collectively. He moved to Paris in the sixties, completely distancing himself from his native indigenous environment, and his artistic influences then grew to an international level. In the so-called city of light, he managed to exhibit in some galleries and museums, highlighting his solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris in 1962; He also participated in the Paris Biennial, winning a prize in 1963. During that time he created his own artistic language, partly influenced by his friendships with Francisco Toledo, Octavio Paz and Julio Cortázar.
From the seventies onwards, his work intertwined textures, colours, abstract forms, fusions of animals with humans and themes from nature that created fantastic situations and environments. He was an artist who was characterized by his passion and dedication to painting, always careful to maintain order and cleanliness around him.
