Early life

[edit]

Julian Ruiz was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and began his artistic training at the age of seven under Edmee Tellez, who was taught by the Spanish artist Jose Azaustre. Over the years, Ruiz continued to develop his artistic skills under the guidance of Wichie Torres and achieved a Master's Degree in Drawing and Painting from PUC University of Ponce in 2005.

Ruiz's work gained broader recognition in the early 2000s with exhibitions at Behaim Gallery in New York and Galería Mesa Fine Art in the Dominican Republic. His contributions to art have also included commissioned portraits for various institutions such as the state elections commission and medical associations.

In 2014, Ruiz contributed a painting that was displayed at the Municipal Legislature Building in Ponce. The following year, he was appointed as the Arts Representative for Ponce, affirming his role in the local arts community. His works have been included in the Collection of the Office of Puerto Rico in the US Congress, alongside pieces by recognized artists like Arnaldo Roche Rabell and Antonio Martorell.

In 2023, Ruiz participated [1] in the Florence Biennale,[2] a significant contemporary art exhibition in Italy. His art, characterized by modern realism, utilizes vibrant colors and dynamic forms to express thematic and aesthetic concepts.

Ruiz's artwork is included in private collections and exhibited in several museums throughout Puerto Rico, such as Pamil Fine Art Gallery in San Juan.
