MARÍA LUISA RUIZ-TAGLE

"I consider myself a self-taught visual artist, forging myself in workshops of different artists and art faculties in a rigorous itinerary that I have imposed on myself according to my own growth program. With higher studies in the area of ​​special education and in the exercise of the profession, already in the first years of this I threw myself into the world of art with passion and tenacity. The common thread of my work has been the self, whom I encounter at every moment, especially walking the streets. Perhaps due to "My training and differential work draws my attention to everyone who is marginalized, or the disappearing trades, the non-integrated. They capture my focus for a long time."
