Luz Marina Ruiz

I’m an Oakland resident born in Cali, Colombia and raised in Queens, New York. My work is inspired by the playful and whimsical world of dreams and nature. Working in a variety of media, I transform drawings, paintings, and 2D prints (linocuts, collagraphs, etchings, and monotypes) into sculptural artists’ books and installations. Intrigued by the experimental nature of printmaking, I employ many printmaking approaches to my work: gouging, scratching, collaging and layering pigment to achieve highly textured surfaces.
