I guess I just don’t like “anything” else to be too much like “everything” else….so call me eccentric if u wish…but even “eccentric” is too much of the “same”….Helene Ruiz
Art is my passion, religion and salvation. It is my way of surviving and coping. I paint what I feel, when I feel, Although most of my works are considered “surreal” in style by many, my work is actually my “reality” and my perception and creative expression of my life and my interpretation of my environment and the lives of others around me. There is no “correct” way to conclude the meaning behind my work as it is meant to reach inside of you and for you to decide how it relates to your soul, your life, your experiences. I love to paint, I cannot imagine my life without it, nor do I think I would have survived without it. Drawing and Painting is my true “freedom” as I can say whatever I want without restriction, and every painting began with a drawing first. This is how I can express myself when words are at a loss. All my works are hand painted… “old school style”.
The stories behind my works are many, I would love to hear how my works may relate to your stories.
original works are available for sale, send me a message and let me know, we can always work it out, all original works prices are negotiable.
“(all works copyright, reproduction in anyway without my permission will certainly be just cause for legal proceedings.)”which includes the use of my work on any of your sites without my permission…..
