Ana Maria Ruiz was born in Bogota, Colombia, but grew up in Popayan, a small city in south-western Colombia. Designer and violinist by profession, her encounter with photography has been self-taught. She is inclined to develop ideas about the concept of a 'glocal' culture, represented in different manifestations: more than an interest in folkloric topics, it is a focus on every-day relations people establish with their environment through places and objects.
Her photographic work is based on finding unintended things. She creates her series by exploring issues and subjects that become recurrent, appearing over and over again in her photos. She Works and lives in Bogota, Colombia.
