published newspaper in USA virginia"This painting is intended to help remind us of the priorities and perhaps the image will make the reality more apparent to make the small sacrifice to stay home and save lives a lot easier if we think of all those on the front lines. So the next time you complain about being stuck inside, just think about all the first responders sacrificing their lives and the lives of their own loved ones while they are on the battlefield to save lives which is why you are safe at home! Next time you complain and go out because you are bored think about how much tougher their battle to help save lives becomes. It is not much to do in comparison to those out there face to face every second of the day with a deadly virus. If anyone who is feeling carefree and not respecting the importance of this deadly virus and is carrying this virus and because they feel fine and may be asymptomatic, go out and spread to others who then in turn can get extremely ill and even die because someone else was too selfish to think of the next person. Our sacrifice is a small one. Stay home! Easy! We get to turn off the TVs and the radio and can choose not to read the papers. The first responders do not have this option. Stop complaining and make the simple sacrifice to help save lives. Just stay home! Stay safe and be mindful of the lives of others. Every time you are frustrated, think of the first responders putting their lives on the line for the rest of us. Please, stay home. Make the sacrifice and be strong. We are in this together and we all must do our part."
Helene Ruiz
Helene Ruiz, a native of New York City, stands as an artist deeply entrenched in the world of drawing and painting. Her early creative journey was shaped by the profound influence of her father, himself an artist, which ignited her passion for the arts at a tender age. Painting is the very essence of Helene's existence, an integral facet of her being. It affords her the unparalleled freedom to express sentiments that often elude words. Within each of her artworks lies a multitude of narratives, waiting to intertwine with the stories of those who gaze upon them. Helene eagerly anticipates the diverse interpretations and connections her art sparks, demonstrating the universal language of creativity and emotion that transcends all boundaries.
In October 2008, Helene Ruiz took the initiative to establish the Urban Individualists, a collective comprising a diverse array of visual and performing artists. As the driving force behind this multicultural, multi-media, and international network, Ms. Ruiz demonstrated remarkable dedication in unifying these distinct talents into a harmonious whole. The Urban Individualists firmly believe in the power of collective expression, leveraging their individual styles to make a resounding artistic statement. Under her leadership, Helene curated and organized a myriad of multimedia exhibitions, providing a platform for emerging artists to present their work, bolster their artistic portfolios, and gain the recognition they deserve.
Over the years, Helene's contributions to the arts have garnered well-deserved recognition. In 2007, she was honored with a grant from The Wheeler Foundation, followed by an artists' grant from the Salmagundi Foundation in Brooklyn, New York, in 2009. In 2011, The Disciples of Humanity acknowledged Helene's exceptional work in enriching various communities with culture, education, and art. Her artistic journey has been widely documented in numerous magazines and newspaper articles, attesting to the impact of her creative endeavors.
Presently, Helene Ruiz continues to create captivating art from her apartment studio, where she pours her heart and soul into each stroke of her brush. For Helene, art is not just a passion; it is her personal salvation, a means of survival and coping with life's intricacies. Her works transcend the boundaries of reality, often described as "surreal" but representing her unique "reality." They serve as a profound expression of her life experiences and emotions, allowing each viewer to forge their individual connection with her art, resonating with their own soul, life, and stories.
