In S.T 08, Ruiz reinterprets the form of Vaporeon, the aquatic Pokémon, placing it in an intimate and contemplative pose. The fragmented brushstrokes, layered tones of blue, and surrounding objects create a scene that oscillates between melancholy and irony. By bringing this iconic figure into his expressive universe, Ruiz transforms a symbol of popular culture into a meditation on solitude, play, and the blurred lines between fiction and reality.
