What he calls the dream is a metaphor representing the innocence of childhood that embodies idealistic and free-choice perspectives. In his work, he creates forms that oppose or add to each other using repetitions, combinations of colors or materials with opposite physical properties in order to highlight the causality of external factors on freedoms. He transcribes his own experience of the social divide linked to his medical studies, where fulfillment seemed unattainable. Rubio translates the information he absorbs into graphic and pictorial compositions by consuming conversations, advertising slogans, books and his own newspaper on a daily basis. Everything that surrounds him from childhood to the present day can be found in his work; The figurative style corresponding to conventional rules and attitudes merges with the more childlike style to the same extent, thus testifying to the power relations that characterize the moment when reverie dies out. In addition to universal typography, Giordan Rubio's own sketches frequently appear in his works, alluding to a sentimental attachment to the artist's notebooks. In addition, it immortalizes the moment in life when the dream gradually fades over time. His work bears witness to a time when humanity is constantly questioning itself and when dreams are abandoned to fulfill their capitalist duty.
