# Barca Luna

"Moon Boat" - a crescent moon floats inside a boat that floats inside a deep blue night, all nested inside one another like a dream inside a dream. The geometric forms in amber and teal that fill the right side of the canvas feel like tiles or a city at night, and the whole composition has a stillness that is anything but empty. One of Ruiz's most quietly powerful paintings.

Inspired by nature and the world of dreams, her imagery often centers on water and boats as metaphors for life’s journeys. Ruiz’s process embraces the experimental nature of printmaking, layering texture and pigment to create luminous, tactile surfaces.

Born in Cali, Colombia, and raised in New York, she earned her BA, MA, and MFA from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, UC Berkeley’s Environmental Design Library, and Mills College Special Collections.
