Cat and Jug

Raised in Valladolid, Spain, and now based in a small rural town nearby, Rut Pedreño Criado’s practice unfolds at a slower, more attentive pace. Working in close dialogue with their immediate surroundings, they draw from the rhythms of everyday life, nature, and careful observation, creating images that feel both intimate and quietly expansive.
Alongside their work as a comic book author and illustrator, Rut continues to cultivate a personal painting practice rooted in curiosity, intuition, and long-term exploration.
