Description
Biography:
Carmen Ruiz-Diego is a self-taught Lexington (KY) based visual artist. She was born in Santander, Spain. She likes to take pictures of scenes that say something to her and use them, quite loosely, to render them in acrylics.
Her love and inspiration for painting is derived from the colorful, beautiful landscapes she observes around her. What started as a hobby in 2016, wanting to capture the essence of the photographs she was taking, soon developed into something she loves. Over time, she also became attracted to painting street scenes and architectural landscapes. She uses acrylics because they work well with the way she creates.
