He was born in Mexico City in 1893. In 1919, after a short time in the Academia de San Carlos, he decided to study on his own. After staying in Europe for five years, he dedicated himself to abstract sculpture, turning into maybe the most innovative sculptor in the Mexican environment before 1950. Later, he was accepted into the Academia de Artes in 1968 as a founding member.

Running Man stands six meters high, and is made of bronze, a material that Cueto knew to perfection. The piece is simple; from two interlacing bodies, a human figure in movement is shown. Its course finishing lets it integrate into its landscape of volcanic rock.
