Enara Bravo aka Ruda Handpoke (Barakaldo 1981), trained in audiovisuals, I left that field some time ago to develop a work and life project in the rural world. For years I have been a handpoke tattoo artist at the Bilbao studio Petra Tatuajes and at the same time I develop textile pieces with a special interest in native wool. My work explores the intersection between tradition and avant-garde, with a focus on needles, rural memory and sustainability. As a blackwork tattoo artist, I have always opted for tattooing without a machine. Although I design digitally, I return to tradition when tattooing by building my pieces point by point, simply with needle and ink. My flash is made up of pieces of flowers, old embroidery, broken vases, crying eyes, animals, warriors or elements of old school and ignorant style that build the imaginary Ruda Handpo.
