You Mustn't Expect Me To Repeat Myself.

For Me Painting Is A Dramatic Action In The Course Of Which Reality Finds Itself Split Apart

Can You Imagine Me Calling Myself "ruiz"? "pablo Ruiz"? "diego-josé Ruiz"? Or "juan-népomucène Ruiz"? I Was Given I Don't Know How Many Names.

The More Technique You Have, The Less You Have To Worry About It. The More Technique There Is, The Less There Is.

Whatever The Source Of Emotion That Drives Me To Create, I Want To Give It A Form Which Has Some Connection With The Visible World, Even If It Is Only To Wage War On That World....i Want My Paintings To Be Able To Defend Themselves To Resist The Invader, Just As Though There Were Razor Blades On All Surfaces So No One Could Touch Them Without Cutting His Hands.

People Want To Find A 'meaning' In Everything And Everyone. That's The Disease Of Our Age...
