Sofia G Ruiz

Born in Madrid, 1967.

I am interested in the study of emotions and human identity through mainly portrait , also by interpreting everything that constitutes the habitat and society created by the self-styled " rational animal. " My pictorial referents ranging from Goya, Guericault , symbolist Franz Von Stuck to Francis Bacon , Egon Schiele, Lucian Freud , Edward Munch, both German Expressionism Painting and Film , because the images of Murnau or Fritz Lang are part of my visual memory .

My area is above all figurative painting with protagonism of the Drawing in the movement, rhythm and reflection about the vision play an important role .
Working on canvas or board , with techniques such as oil, acrylic or mixed.

The image starts from an initial idea without sketches , I do not care much the control of the entire process as allowing arises spontaneously, so I am a spectator of my own creation.
