SUENO PROFUNDO OIL AND ACRILIC ON CANVAS SIGNED, 2013 EXHIBITED MUSEO DEL BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA 43.25 X 35.5 INCHES 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).
