Ruth Olivar Millan

Born in Fresno county in the Center on Calif year in the year 1947 to Luciano Olivar and Maria de Jesus Ramirez. Two creative people that stressed education as a very important concept. She also grew up speaking Spanish, English and Japanese while she lived in a multicultural agricultural community.Her environment may have been perceived as one of poverty for lack of materialism but it was rich in the areas of great food, music and art. Sunday's were all ways celebrated with extended family and compadres... father's jokes, great Bar-b-q s and singing kept everyone in full gear for the coming week that would include hard work in the fields.
At times life was complicated. The pain was much to too much to endure, but faith ( and some paint and a paint brush)in every situation helped her find some harmony, some peace and strength that directed her on the right path.

[Biography - Ruth Olivar Millan - Cuca - 2Ko]


 Born in the San Joaquin Valley in the center of California USA.  Born to two creative campesino  parents that always had a great love for the arts. Herhome was always adorned with good food , music, religous drama and family and compadres and comadres.  Spanish was the first language heard, English second and phrases of  other languages .....Japanese and Armenian in our schools.  Facination with cultures started early in her life and her passion for art started even before she held a brush in her hand.

In spite of a lack of resources and money she graduated with honors from UC Berkeley in Art,Art History, La Raza Studies with a minor in Spanish literature.  Received a teaching credential from Notre Dame College a Catholic School in Belmont, several teaching certificates in English, Spanish, adult education, and specialist credentials. Her  Master of Arts Degree embrased her interests of Multi-cultural/cross cultural education (lingusitics, history, education) Inspite of her book education she still considers herself  "self taught"and contines to learn from the people she meets in her travels and volunteer work.  She is always amazed at the great masters that adorn the galleries and museums as new as the new  muli-media genius' that take the freedom of expression  bravely to another perspective.  She expands her knowledge of art to the belief that it promotes right and left brain developement in both the creator and interactionist.The  creative thought  (brain activity) that influences science creativity, literature and passion in the science of living life to the fullest.

Her paintings are an intense personal intimate act.  These  paintings reflect the people she sees in lands where the subject shares their life with the earth,their food, their children ,their shelters  facial wrinkles and colorful clothes, with the artist.  Her subjects are based on universal themes beyond culture, language,race, boarders and lines that devide humans. Her art work embraces the interaction with a whisper of faceless characters a composite of the viewer.

As a painter she loses narrative that defines the rules of art and becomes an instrument of emotion to concentrate on the elements of the paint...the color,value shape intense line. Her paintings are comtempary in terms of documenting a global perspective of our humanrace yet  are reminders of Gauguin the shapes and flat shapes of Japenese wood block prints. For the some interactionist the work may represent reality   but justifies the manifestation of a powerful reality within the viewer.  Who becomes the true artist.

Ruth Olivar Millan, Cuca     art sales support her global peace projects (books for the home, education in the home, conflict resolution skills and health projects)
