Paul W Ruiz

Painting the human subject.
The human subject as still life; as vessels for human hope, longing, failure and endurance.
The human subject as landscape; a terrain along which the eye travels and the heart and mind seeks out encounters both strange and beautiful.
As history painting of the personal kind; creating a surface along which time is etched and a part of the artist's experience engages the beholder to form part of their history.

So they can announce a funeral for painting. But the coffin will be empty.
