With certificate of opinion from Galería de Arte Mexicano, July 2022.
Rodolfo Nieto was always an artist with a rebellious soul, so although he did not want to pursue an academic education, he followed with great fervor the work of Carlos Orozco Romero and Santos Balmori, as well as his mentor Juan Soriano. His time in Europe strongly influenced his work, especially his color palette and abstract forms. Upon his return to Mexico, he expanded his experimentation with techniques, which enriched his artistic work, and he also began to study pre-Hispanic art and popular culture, incorporating new structures into his work.
"Nieto tended to saturate his compositions, adhering to or surrounding the main image with countless elements that can be found irregularly geometric, such as frets or panels, and he also tends to resort to very fine drippings, which always seem controlled, as if he were fleeing from emptiness." Teresa del Conde.
