VIC-TORIA RUIZ STUDIO
is a dynamic creative studio founded by Venezuelan multidisciplinary artist Victoria Ruiz. Based in between London, Miami and Rio de Janeiro, the studio is dedicated to producing bold, innovative works that intersect art, costume, and social activism. The studio operates as a platform for Ruiz’s artistic vision, crafting wearable sculptures, immersive installations, and multimedia projects that challenge societal norms and spark dialogue on pressing issues such as social justice, ecological conservation, and cultural identity.
At the heart of the studio’s mission is a commitment to storytelling through intricate craftsmanship. VIC-TORIA RUIZ STUDIO specializes in creating handcrafted costumes, masks, and surrealist sculptures, often drawing from Ruiz's Latin American heritage and blending it with carnivalesque elements. The studio collaborates with global brands and media outlets, with its works featured in major publications like British Journal of Photography, Dazed, Service95, PHmuseum, Spectrum Photo, and more, as well as in exhibitions worldwide.
The studio's projects, such as El Carnaval Que No Pasó and Flying Rivers, exemplify its ability to produce visually captivating and conceptually rich pieces that bring attention to underrepresented voices and causes. By merging art, costume, and activism, VIC-TORIA RUIZ STUDIO has carved out a niche at the intersection of contemporary art and political expression.
The studio’s team consists of artist Victoria Ruiz, founder and creative director and Helena Cebrian, studio manager, producer, and consultant.
