Ricardo A. Ruiz

By LatAm ARTE

Ricardo A. Ruiz is a multidisciplinary artist blending digital and traditional mediums to explore themes of identity, resistance, and transformation. Born in Caguas Puerto Rico, Ricardo draws deep inspiration from the island’s complex colonial history, cultural heritage, and the enduring spirit of its people. His work often fuses political symbolism with striking visual storytelling, offering layered narratives that resonate with both historical and contemporary relevance. Ricardo’s creations frequently reflect his passion for historical education, decolonization, and personal introspection. He moves fluidly between solid acrylic paintings and highly detailed digital compositions, using color, motion, and form to spark conversation and reflection. His recent body of work includes pieces like Where Colors Meet the Wind, The Storm Is Her Story, and Divided, Yet One—all praised for their emotional depth and symbolic richness. Ricardo continues to push creative boundaries while honoring the stories of those who came before him—and those still fighting to be heard
