The Cuban literary critic and researcher Olga García affirms of Aziyadé "The woman in Aziyadé Ruiz is always a torn figure and moved by a very complex inner world. If the artist creates a discourse around women, it is that of infinite sadness".

Aziyadé was trained at the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) specializing in engraving, in Havana. He has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally (Croatia, Zurich, Panama, Bogota, etc). His works are part of outstanding public and private collections at international level.
