这种动物寓言只存在于鲁本创造的奇特世界里，以熟知之形浮于眼前，而形体之上枝叶满盈，一片祥和之境。如果动物是道德怪物的化身，那树林便是故事里的主角，似乎在向我们传达：‘读懂我的静默，万物既恒久留存又瞬息万变’。
在这样一种强劲的美感面前，是无法做到无动于衷的。在这次展览中，我们可以看到动物被人类所珍视的事物所主宰：‘…我的作品有着连绵的绿意，此间森林涵养万物…野蛮世界征服了文明世界…在这个世界里，大自然重新主宰万物，就像中国和日本景致里的“山水”意境，人体的形态就像一只昆虫那样微小而渺茫…’

This bestiary which exists only in the fantastic world created by Rubén, appears in known forms by conceiving another leafy and bushy flesh, which is always calm. If the animals look like an ethical monsters, trees are figures from a tale by which they seem to tell us: ‘learn from my silence, everything lasts and everything is ephemeral’.

Faced with such a sense of strength and beauty, it is impossible to be indifferent. In this exhibition, we distinguish the animal subjects to events that render them valuable in front of humans: ‘...My works have an extending tree, a forest that populates and covers everything... the wild world triumphs over the civilized world... A world in which the nature has resumed her role of heroin, and as in the Chinese and Japanese landscapes of "shanshui", the human figure is like a small insect, barely perceptible...’
