  Blind Artist Ruben Parga's opening reception was a huge success. His exhibition, "Insight" at the Workmen's Circle gallery, continues through January 31, 2014. 

 

In his native Mexico, Ruben Parga started exploring the world of art as a child. At the Universidad Latinoamericana in Mexico City he studied graphic design and photography. 

 

After going completely blind in December 2009, Parga continued his exploration of techniques and materials at art classes at the Braille Institute. His primary focus has been ceramic sculpture, but also printmaking, basketry, and mosaics. His work is represented in many private collections.

 

"In the transition to a new way of living," Parga says, "my blindness stopped me for a while. But my drive to create art, to offer the world my particular insight, was stronger than my physical limitation. I know now that blindness will never stop my impulse to keep making art."

 

Parga is known for his series of ceramic masks, depicting the range of emotions known to the human condition. 

 

"My life is not over. I refuse to stop growing," Parga says.
