Sofía Ruiz explores human experience in her paintings, offering a unique perspective on themes of otherness, duality, and loss of identity. Inspired by poignant experiences, she navigates memory and family connections, infusing her work with resilience.
Raised amidst her mother’s amnesia and grandmother’s Alzheimer’s, Ruiz’s childhood was marked by disconnection and alienation within her family. Central to Ruiz’s work are haunting portraits of children suspended in dreamlike states, surrounded by abstract forms hinting at emotional landscapes. These narratives evoke nostalgia, prompting viewers to explore their own experiences.
Close is a surreal portrait portraying a pale young girl with pink hair and dark, haunting eyes, her expression somber and distant. Behind her, a surreal yellow creature with glossy black eyes and a torn mouth looms protectively, its body curling around her shoulders to create an eerie sense of intimacy.
