Daniel Rueffert

Born in 1948 in Nebraska and raised in South Dakota, Dan Rueffert has lived in San Miguel de Allende for 35 years. His talent and tenure in San Miguel de Allende and elsewhere in Mexico has afforded Mr. Rueffert iconic status as a premier representative postimpressionist painter of Mexican life, lifestyle, and landscape. His work unequivocally captures and preserves the flavor of old rural Mexico, from the Republic’s central highlands to its vast coastlines, in a world that is rapidly changing - and an old Mexico that is rapidly disappearing.
Mr. Rueffert is one of Mexico’s most accomplished and collectable artists.

  
     

His use of the en plein-air (in open air) technique in his construction of paintings is very finely honed and beautifully executed – presenting the public with the gift of his inspiration and his years of study, craft and mastery. Mr. Rueffert includes in his technical repertoire the textural depth of palette knife works, a classic method providing each piece with even greater expression, structure, and form. Mr. Rueffert works in oils and pastels and occasionally sculpts. His art can be found in collections worldwide.
Mr. Rueffert studied at the Rocky Mountain School of Art, Denver, Colorado, Bellas Artes (Centro Cultural El Nigromante), San Miguel de Allende, and the Instituto Allende, San Miguel de Allende. After completing his studies, he joined the faculty at the Instituto Allende, where he taught for many years.
His work is shown in San Miguel de Allende, Puerto Vallarta, and Mineral de Pozos.Galeria 19 is the exclusive representative for Dan Rueffert in San Miguel de Allende. 
Mr. Rueffert is available for commissioned pieces.”
