Autoimmune-I is an introspective series born from the artist's personal journey navigating a genetic autoimmune condition. Each composition functions as a visual dialogue with the body — a space of tension, acceptance, and eventual reconciliation. Through layers of color and abstract structure, Nano Ruiz explores how internal battles, often invisible, can manifest into form and awareness.
Rather than illustrating illness, the series centers on healing through understanding. The works are marked by vibrant contrasts and delicate transparencies that suggest inflammation, vulnerability, and repair. The repetitive format of nine pieces mirrors the persistence of chronic conditions and the cyclic nature of adaptation.
This body of work is not about fragility, but about resilience. Autoimmune-I stands as a testament to the artist's desire to listen to, respect, and live in harmony with his own body. It invites viewers to consider the complexity of their own physical and emotional states — not as something to fight, but something to embrace.
