Ruida Ribeiro's original work offers us a return to childhood full of magnificence. By reinterpreting the aesthetic codes and the dynamism characteristic of the Dragon Ball universe, Ruida manages to reinvent the adventures of the young Son Goku alongside the majestic Shenron. The distinctive features of Ruida's creations are manifested here with an artistic continuity that transcends the limits of the frame.

Ruida's skill in capturing the essence of Akira Toriyama's fantastical worlds instantly transports us back to childhood, evoking memories of these epic adventures.

The artist succeeds in merging the past and the present, offering a new and nostalgic vision of Dragon Ball. Each brushstroke, each shade of color, resonates with a palpable nostalgia and admiration for the originality of Toriyama's work. Ruida reinterprets these elements with a unique sensitivity, transforming the work into a vibrant and contemporary homage.

Ruida Ribeiro

A quick glance is enough to recognize these leaping silhouettes, these deliberate nods to our childhood heroes, these graphic tributes to manga culture, fantasy, and animated cinema. Here, geek memory takes on a new form: more elegant, more vivid, more mature—but without losing any of its magic. Each composition tells a story in suspense. A chase on a celestial mount, a declaration of love with a chainsaw, a duel frozen between the intimate and the epic. The line is fine, expressive, the layout masterful, and the emotion always present, even in the most absurd scenes. This graphic work revisits the classics without frozen nostalgia. It revives them, reinvents them, recharges them with energy and meaning. As if the paper legends had never left, but were waiting to be looked at differently. It is pop culture sublimated by drawing, between heritage and freedom, assumed codes and constant reinvention.
