As far back as I can remember I was always drawing, painting or creating something.Painting is a way of working out my feelings, always in constant evolution.It's like bread and water to my soul to quench my thirst for creation. “When it comes to who I been inspired, there is a great deal of artist like Van Gogh , Gauguin, Monet, Picasso, Rivera, Warhol, Basquiat, Hans Hofmann and of course, myself. I am a product of the 20 ~ 21 Century. For more information of Mr. Ruiz art work: Email:jruiz21735@aol.com more
