Llorar pronto cuando la vida te pasa por encima, 2023
Javier Ruiz Pérez paintings are collage-like compositions consisting of visual footage collected from social media and the internet. The depicted subjects are always living figures, a group of people or single individuals, flowers and still-lifes against a background of andalusian landscapes. His paintings always manage to deliver an uncanny balance between credibility and oddity, resuting in depictions that are incomprehensible, yet plausible. His work is part of important private and museum collections including Museum Voorlinden , NL and The Green Family Foundation, US.
Javier Ruiz Perez (*1989, ES) lives and works in La Carolina, Jaén, Spain.
He studied llustration in Madrid as well as Los Angeles.
