Illustrator Daiana Ruiz creates striking portraits of diverse women that showcase strength, grace, and beauty—basically what it means to live your best life. Dissatisfied with the lack of representation of real women in the media, Daiana has digitally drawn the world she wants to see. Her figures often gaze back at us, their confidence unwavering.
Based in Buenos Aires, Daiana is inspired by the bustling metropolis. “The lights at night, the music—I like to represent women living these scenes,” she explains. Their clothing, minimal and stylish, is another draw of Daiana’s work, and she sees this as another way to define her characters. “I think fashion is an art that allows us to design ourselves and express what happens in a specific time of our life.”
Daiana sells prints of her work through her website. See what she’s creating next when you follow her on Instagram.
