Veronica Ruiz De Velasco stands among the greatest living artists of our time. Her talent has been recognized as genius by the masters, and her technique is only surpassed by her passion for every piece of art she creates.

As a young woman, Veronica considered putting her passion and enthusiasm toward a career in acting but soon learned that a love and talent for art lived deep within her soul. Her innate talent was quickly noted by top artists in the Mexican art community, and she became a rising star. Mexican master, Rufino Tamayo, saw in Veronica a unique talent that had to be nurtured and encouraged.

Shortly after being discovered by the masters of the Mexican art community, Ruiz de Velasco was invited to individually exhibit her work at the Museo de Arte Moderno (National Museum of Modern Art) in Mexico. She was the youngest artist ever to receive this honor at that time. The Museo de Arte Moderno included Ruiz de Velasco in their prestigious 25-year anniversary book featuring Mexico’s leading artists.

As the young artist’s talent began to create a buzz in the art community of Mexico City, the world began to take notice. Artistic masters in Mexico and Europe opened their doors to support Veronica and help her refine her technique. Her natural artistic talents were catapulted with the help of the best schools and private teachings in the world.

As the worldwide art community recognized and lined up to support the rising star, Veronica’s success was nearly instantaneous. Her exhibits were sellouts, and international powerhouses soon began to reach out to her to commission her art for renowned events and locations. Her successes include exhibitions in both Mexico, United States, Europe, and Africa.

She was one of the youngest female artists to be in the Modern Art Museum of Mexico.

Her talent attracted the attention of masters such as Rufino Tamayo and Gilberto Aceves Navarro who all took Veronica under their wings as a student and protégé.

She was commissioned to paint a mural at the ABC Hospital that was inaugurated by Prince Charles of Wales, and later a mural for the Hamon Science Building at the Southwest Medical Center in Dallas. She represented a group of Mexican artists at the South Africa FIFA World Cup. In addition, Veronica has held exhibitions worldwide including the Mexico Loteria, the Mexico City International Airport, Nordstrom in the Galleria of Dallas and the Irving Art Center. Her story and artwork have been featured in national and local publications as well as been coveted among private art collectors including several prominent lawyers, doctors, entertainers and entrepreneurs.

Veronica Ruiz De Velasco possesses an innate talent for brushstroke, color and technique. This talent was what captivated the masters of the art world who helped her cultivated and delve deeper into that natural born ability. Her artwork comes alive as she lays her heart and soul into each painting. Veronica’s vision is to share her passion with the world, mentor young upcoming artists and share in the art world as it has shared with her. Let’s welcome Veronica Ruiz de Velasco to Northern California.
