In S.T 09, Ruiz reinterprets contemporary popular culture by evoking the form of Zapdos, the legendary Pokémon. Through fragmented strokes, geometric planes, and an intense palette dominated by yellow, he transforms a pop icon into a raw, painterly expression. The work reflects how Ruiz bridges everyday references with his distinctive, abstract-figurative language, demonstrating that even mass cultural symbols can become vessels for profound artistic exploration.
