Sofía Ruiz was born in 1982.
What she expresses through her paintings has to do with where she was born, the family in which she grew up and the people she surrounds himself with. Sofía's work is above all an introspective work, where her gaze is directed inwards.
She is a graduate of the School of Art of the University of Costa Rica, where she graduated with a degree in engraving and in 2008.
Much of her training has been done in workshops and residences abroad. Among these, it is worth mentioning that she went through the International Printmaking Workshop "Transparencias Múltiples", given by the Argentine print maker Alicia Candiani, in the framework of La Joven Estampa in Havana, Cuba, in 2007. Likewise, during the last three months of the year 2008 she made a residency at the Experimental Printmaking Institute, Easton PA, USA; and two years later, she participated in an Intaglio Workshop taught by Graciella Buratti, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Her work has been exhibited in Costa Rica and abroad since 1999, with more than 30 group exhibitions and 10 individual exhibitions. Ruiz's work also has several recognitions, among which count the 5th edition of Valoarte (2007), the First place in the II Biennial of Painting and Sculpture of ICE (2009), the Second Place in MYARTSPACE Art Scholarship (2009) , the Ancora Prize (2011) and the Ora Prize (2012).
Some copies of Ruiz's work are part of the collections of the International Quarter of the arts and culture SALMAGUNDI (New York City, USA), the Experimental Printmaking Institute, (Easton , PA, USA), the National Gallery of the Children's Museum (San José, Costa Rica), the Promerica Bank (San José, Costa Rica), the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (San José, Costa Rica), and the Collection of Engraving of the University of Costa Rica (San José, Costa Rica).
Her last individual exhibit was in The Museums of the Central Bank of Costa Rica under the name "I am the Others: A Physiognomy Unto Itself".

Rene Ramos was born into a family of accomplished artists. Hi father Rene Martinez Sopena was an accomplished sculptor and teacher at the prestigious San Alejandro School, where Rene and his brother Yuri Martinez Ramos, also a world renowned painter, were graduates. The Martinez/Sopena family can also count amongst their artistic luminaries Hector Martinez and Sergio Martinez Sopena, uncles of Rene and Yuri, both master sculptors with works included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Bellas Artes in Havana, as well as countless collections around the world. Rene from a young age was a master drawer and painter, winning countless awards and scholarships. The competitive and artistic family atmosphere with his father, uncles and brother solidified Rene’s future aspirations of becoming an accomplished figurative painter of Cuban social scenes. The dynamics of Rene’s works can best be described as a narrative of whimsical social commentary of what it truly means to be Cuban in the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond. He takes his ques from family and friends and their interrelationships within Cuban society as it currently unfolds on the island. His works are not political in nature but rather reflects a poignant reminder of the resiliency of the Cuban spirit. His works offer a superior measure of detail utilizing a flow of powerful colors that jump off the canvas. One cannot help but admire and cherish any work of Rene’s a collector decides to take home.

"TOAST TO THE SEA"

YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS
"TOAST TO THE SEA"
OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED
CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2008
40 X 30 INCHES
Toast to the sea is a depiction of the beautiful women at Miami beaches, sunny days, drinks, and having a good moment feeling.
Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964.
He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983.
Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma.
Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas.
