Mario Ruiz is a visual artist from Barranquilla, Colombia. Trained at the District School of Arts, he has carried one belief since the beginning: art is everything that comes from the heart without intention. Acrylic, mixed media, air-dry clay, plastic print — whatever the material, the gesture comes first.
Milan, the city to which love brought him, opened his eyes to something he already knew but hadn’t yet named: that talent without discipline goes nowhere. That human creative capacity transcends time, culture and limited resources. That perseverance is the real medium.
Trovà la via is a series of 6 works — paintings and sculptures — that traces that path. Faces half-formed in the dark. Bodies caught mid-gesture. The moment between doubt and arrival.
On 25 April 2026,
@mrm_arte_ presents Trovà la via at CIQ — Via Fabio Massimo 19, Milano, as part of Under Construction Art Exhibition during
