This is not a recent issue, replica or tourist souvenir. My name is Ruben Rocha, and I'm a collector of original vintage posters.
Art has been a fundamental part of my life from a very young age. However, what really captured my attention were the leftovers discarded by the students.. Sifting through the rubbish outside the fine arts school (that still exists and is called "Escola De Artes Pablo Picasso" in A Coruna, Spain) was very exciting, and every time I found a sculpture, painting or any kind of work that I considered interesting, I felt a kind of euphoria.
As the years went by, my relationship with art evolved. I moved to London, a place full of culture, history, and of course, art. I began collecting posters from all over the world, but developed a special interest in those that came from the USSR and my home country of Spain.
The visual narrative of these posters, their vibrant colours, and their ability to tell stories captivated me. Each poster I bought was not just a decorative piece, but a fragment of an era, a representation of a cultural context that I wanted to preserve and share. And in this way, my experience in the art world has become a journey full of discoveries, learnings and nostalgic moments, from my childhood days to my adult life in one of the most artistic cities in the world.
