“Artist and Collector of moments, not things. Glass always half-full. No time for pessimism.”
Alex Ruiz
My work explorers the intersection between the seen and unseen,
blending elements of reality with layers of imagination to create narratives that are both familiar and surreal. Drawing inspiration from nature, human emotions, and the complexities of identity, I am to evoke a sense of curiosity and introspection in the viewer.
Through my paintings, I seek to capture fleeting moments of tension and harmony. Each piece is a meditation on contrast -light and shadow, presence and absence, the physical and the ephemeral. By focusing on these dualities, I invite the viewer to engage with the work on both an emotional and intellectual level, encouraging them to find the personal meaning within the ambiguity.
My art is about connection- between individuals, between worlds, and between the seen and felt. I hope to create spaces, where viewers can pause, reflect and perhaps see something familiar from a new perspective.
