Mireia Ruiz

​

Her work centers on clean shapes and vivid color ranges to create dynamic compositions. She is driven by a desire to infuse her pieces with color as a way of conveying a positive message in a complex world and to develop a parallel universe that exists within her own utopia.

This universe is rich in symbolism, speaking to themes of human progress, the empowerment of women, the unity of good and evil, the primacy of nature as the ultimate truth, and the passage of time as an inevitable consequence of both individual and collective existence.

She values abstract art, though figurative elements sometimes appear depending on the message she wants to express and her emotional state. Her work is primarily pictorial—acrylic on canvas—yet she also creates pieces on paper or wood as preliminary explorations. She enjoys working with cardboard; cutting and composing freely has allowed her to translate that spontaneity into her brushwork, seeking similar textures and finishes while shaping her distinctive style.

Another form of experimentation that inspires her is the reuse of objects abandoned or discarded by society. These rescued objects undergo various interventions—compositional, material, and chromatic—that transform them into new elements within her universe. Through these interventions, their meaning shifts, and artistic photography enables her to immortalize them, granting them a second life. For the viewer, these objects become visually compelling once again, prompting her to reflect on the necessity and the purpose behind this process of transformation.
