Collection: Ruth Alvarez

Born in Oviedo in 1995, she graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca, and has a Master's degree in Advanced Studies in Art History from the University of Barcelona. She currently lives and develops her artistic practice in Oviedo.

Ruth's painting is framed in the context of the new contemporary figuration and naivety , it seems to represent a fantasy world where a series of characters and spaces appear, made up of vibrant colors and dreamlike landscapes. The return to the natural, the animal, the mystical or the cosmic is pertinent in the work. The characters are characterized by having a dreamy and melancholic attitude.

Ruth's imagination seems to enclose a world to be fixed and at the same time raises the possibility of another possible place.

She was one of the three artists selected in 2023 by the Asturian Youth Institute to be part of the Sala Borrón programme for the 2024-2025 season.
