Framed within the Generation X, this prolific naturalist, rationalist, polymath and rebel author with a beat accent, has spent most of her life, marked by anorexia, depression and phobias.

Her style, inevitably stigmatized by her cosmopolitanism, the mixture of cultures, loneliness and the varied intellectual and artistic nutrition received since childhood, is far from conventionalisms and artificial ties, and therefore describes well her and the reality that surrounds her.

This way of doing both literature and photography is something like a kind of intellectual stripteases. Pure sensualism. Sensory art to enjoy with all the senses. Pure existentialism. The paradox of a woman trapped in a treacherous body. The woman trapped in a cage decorated with beauty of all time, except this one. The woman in exile. Catharsis and broken links.

Every emotion, every exhibition, every work published as a writer and journalist, her diaries - which span more than 40 years- and her extensive correspondence, have been imbued with the aesthetics of rock and vintage, audiovisual and commercial culture, mainly Anglo-Saxon, pessimism, and existential anguish, reinforced with a language between lyrical, critical and direct.

Her literary production is broad and includes the following novels and biographies: "La Vida Intermitente" (Reservoir Books, Mondadori 1999, Mitos de Bolsillo & iUniverse 2001), "La Primera Vez: Una producción de Elías Querejeta (Malaga Film Festival, 2000), "Laponia" (Manuscripts, 2000), IN2Japan (Vasava ArtWorks, 1999) or "La Dolce Vita -de Alessandro Lecquio (HMR, Hijos de Muley Rubio 1999).

"La Vida Intermitente" (The Intermittent Life") her most celebrated work, was adapted for the theater by Pedro Penim, the prestigious Portuguese actor, director, playwright and founding member of Teatro Praga, a Lisbon theater company with which he generally works and with whom he has received several awards. The company won the Teatro Amador de Lisboa Prize in 2000 for the adaptation of Ruth´s novel and was considered Best Play of the Year.

She has also published poetry: "Lapland" (Sugerencia Editorial, 2000) and "Suicidal Tendencies" (RB ArtWork, 2002); and collaborated in anthologies and compilation books together with other great authors with essays, short stories, poems and interviews, such as: "Album Rojo, Album Azul: The Beatles" (Un Año de Rock, Luca Editorial 1992 -1993), "Pavana por el Difunto Ravel" (DT Magazine, 1996), "Los Niños del Domingo" (DT Magazine, 1996), "La Luna Falsita" (After Hours, Random House Mondadori, 1999), "Cuento de Navidad"(VANIDAD, Feliz Navidad. Egoiste, 2.000), "Vaginometry "(EVOPHAT, THE CARROT 58 VISIONS, Vasava Artworks, 2.001), "Psychoactive Kosher Cuisine "(Apología de la Marihuana by Cristobal Cobo Quintas, Valdemar, 20 ...more

“The alphabet is mischievous. In a scene cut from the final montage of "Habla Mudita", José Luis López Vázquez said that "an egg is used ad a great meal, but it can also be sold." Words are the same (as an egg): they are used to communicate but they can also be sold.”
