Born in 1980 in San José de Mayo, he currently lives and works in Montevideo. He graduated from the School of Fine Arts, attended the Fundación de Arte Contemporáneo and the workshop of Carlos Capelán.
The work of JMR takes up the legacy of drawing and painting as cultural legacies of art history, addressing in its processes various media such as the image on the plane, objects and installations that encompass and question the roles of institutions in contemporary art. The interest of his research is based on his personal experience of the boundaries between public and private.
