Ruben Ruiz Artist’s Statement
![]() |
I was born in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. I had a huge influence from both the American and Mexican cultures being raised in this border town. Art has always been my passion. I started painting when I was a child even though I never had the opportunity to take art classes. Instead I spent most of my days at the library studying, memorizing, and learning the drawing and painting techniques. I had no choice but to learn on my own. Little by little I started making progress and my techniques kept improving. Finally I could let my imagination run free and express passion for the art. After finishing high school I had the opportunity to begin studying a Visual Arts major at the Universidad Autonoma of Ciudad Juarez. Most professors and people did not appreciate my art work. Like most artist flock from town to town, I decided to flock this way. My wife and I decided to come to the United States to pursue our passion for the art and our dreams. I want to share my passion trough my paintings with all of those who have learned to appreciate the arts. |
