Paul Ruiz completed his visual arts education at Melbourne University in 1996.

For over ten years Paul consulted on technology-driven projects across several industries whilst deepening his continued fascination with the visual analysis, drawing and painting of the human figure.

After launching his first solo exhibition in 2005, Ruiz' work found eager collectors in Australia and abroad whilst represented by Melbourne-based galleries.

The artist's work is now represented alongside prominent emerging and mid-career artists at Lindberg Galleries and he is working towards his next exhibition to be held in Melbourne in 2010.
