He was born in Cuernavaca in 1964. He began his formal education process within science by investigating tropical plants.
In 1992, at the inauguration of his first solo pictorial exhibition, at the Sloane-Racota gallery, Eduardo was approached by a prestigious collector, who smugly ventured to tell him: "You're going to end up painting abstract ..."
“The collection of paintings - Claudio Isaac tells us, commenting on that occasion - was the product of observations - resting, elaborated - of a long trip to the jungles of Chiapas and Veracruz as a researcher, and although they were more suggestive than descriptive, it was inconceivable to extract them from the figurative context: poeticized or decanted, they were landscapes at last. The canvases are impregnated with the light climate of that wooded area, their trembling branches accompanied the lines, and elements that have continued to populate his work to date appeared. So Rincón was surprised and even irritated by the collector's sentence, since it seemed blunt and arbitrary. Over time, Rincón the biologist gives way to the painter, and the latter, with his intuition as a tool, understands that there are mysteries that will remain as such, inextricable ... Today, Eduardo Rincón admits that the collector actually issued a prediction, maybe right ... "
Eduardo has won awards, such as the one at the XIII National Meeting of Young Art, in Aguascalientes, 1992-1993. He has been selected at the Diego Rivera Biennial and invited by the Boreal Art Nature Center, Montreal, Canada, as an artist in residence.
A mission to which he dedicates a good part of his time is to the reproduction of amate trees, from which he obtained the paper for the codices; The Tlahuicas, for example, had to pay tribute to the Aztecs with 46,000 rolls of paper a year.
