Ruiz's work is rooted in the socio-political life of his homeland, Columbia. But it isn't just politics and sociology in his pieces; he views nature as an uncontrollable component in this equation. Ruiz works in paintings and installations and he has worked in three series; Love is i the Air, Displacements and Gold.
These unique pieces of humans with poppy heads are open to all sorts of interpretation--from the beautiful to the provocative.
