about

danielruanovastudio operates as an experimental field where art, politics, and production intersect. Conceived as both a studio and a system, it extends the logic of contemporary art into the realm of circulation — questioning how images, symbols, and economies shape our collective experience.

Founded by Daniel Ruanova, the studio redefines the border not as a limit, but as a generative condition. His practice inhabits the tension between spectacle and resistance, turning the debris of power — corporate logos, nationalist emblems, and visual noise — into new heraldic forms. These transformed symbols become a language of critique, humor, and emancipation.

The studio functions as a porous institution — an ongoing experiment in how art can inhabit multiple realities at once: the gallery, the digital interface, the street, and the global marketplace. It is both an aesthetic proposition and a social one, where the act of making becomes inseparable from the act of distributing thought.

In this sense, danielruanovastudio is less a brand than a platform of contamination — where the hierarchies between artwork and object, collector and participant, are dissolved. Each piece becomes a node within a larger network of meanings, carrying fragments of resistance, irony, and reconfiguration. Through this approach, the studio challenges the boundaries of authorship and authenticity, transforming the circulation of art into a conceptual gesture in itself.

about Daniel Ruanova

Daniel Ruanova (Mexicali, Baja California, 1976) lives and works in Tijuana. His multidisciplinary practice examines the shifting architectures of power, visibility, and belief within contemporary culture—probing the aesthetics of technofascism, border politics, and the circulation of symbols across global and local systems.

Working across painting, sculpture, installation, and expanded media, Ruanova constructs a visual vocabulary that is both industrial and insurgent, oscillating between precision and chaos, irony and conviction. His materials—often repurposed from the infrastructures of surveillance, commerce, or construction—become tools for reimagining resistance and belonging in an age of control.

Exhibited widely across Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Asia, Ruanova’s work remains anchored in the paradoxes of the border: a terrain where violence and invention coexist, where the geopolitical and the intimate continuously collide. Through this lens, his art becomes an act of reconfiguration—transforming the languages of power into new forms of visibility and play.
