My name is Ru. I am a full-time visual artist.
There are two directions in my art. The first, if paraphrased from Kafka, is like a knife I use to rummage in myself. It’s sharp and penetrating, sometimes even wounding, but all with the purpose of self-discovery. It is Conceptual art.
The second direction is healing and meditative, focused on delight and contemplation. These are abstract acrylic paintings that aim to bring beauty and harmony to the space they inhabit. They have the power to energize or, conversely, to bring a sense of calm, depending on the artwork's palette and composition. The painting process of this kind of art is showcased here on my YT Channel.
You can acquire my abstract paintings through Artfinder or Saatchi Art platforms.
You may also show your support for my work on Patreon or YouTube Membership and gain access to a diverse array of benefits.

✨ I turned a bedsheet into luxury black and gold wall art. Deep texture on a matte black base with sculpted gold folds that light up a modern space. Beginner-friendly DIY with clear steps.

Two months of work, hundreds of layers, tons of doubt... I had almost given up - this painting felt like a failure. So I decided to take a drastic step: I mercilessly covered it in metallic chrome paint, ready to start over.
And then a MIRACLE happened!
Suddenly - a glow, depth, a 3D effect... The painting came to life, becoming whole, mysterious, almost magical! ✨
How did this happen? Luck? Inspiration? Or is it true that sometimes you have to destroy to create something new?
Let me know in the comments!

🖤 This oversized painting was a real experiment. I used salt, dripping, fluid techniques, spray, and created a texture that mimics the look of silk-like decorative plaster.
Swipe through the carousel to see the close-up details.
I’ll make a tutorial about it as soon as I get a breather - stay tuned.

I finally mastered creating perfect acrylic gradients on large canvases! 🎨
If you have any questions about blending acrylics, feel free to ask—I’d be happy to answer!
My latest piece "Gradient Sunrise on Misty Lake" (60x40 in / 150x100 cm), captures the soft light of sunrise reflecting off a tranquil lake wrapped in fog. With soothing pastel tones and seamless blending, this piece brings the quiet beauty of a November morning to life.

Hey lovely art souls! I need your advice. I've been debating for weeks whether to add something to this painting or leave it as is. 🤔 The artwork is called "Tranquil Horizon" and measures 59 x 39 in (150 x 100 cm). What do you think? Please drop your opinion:
1️⃣ Yes, add something!
2️⃣ No, leave it as is!
3️⃣ Share your ideas!
By the way, I’ve also put together a playlist of videos on the blending technique I used for this painting, where I share tips and tricks. You can check them out here: 🎥✨

🎨✨ Exciting News! ✨🎨
Get ready for something special this Sunday! I'm releasing a brand-new video where I reveal the magic behind creating "The Birth of Dawn."
This isn't just any painting—it's a mesmerizing blend of acrylic ink and acrylic paint, where soft ethereal pinks dance with deep earthy tones, and luminous ocher flecks add that perfect touch of pearl light. This piece captures the serene beauty of dawn blending into dusk, inspired by the elegance of Japanese landscape prints from the Edo era.
In the video, you'll see just how easy and quick it is to create smooth color gradients that bring your artwork to life, giving it a velvet-like effect that feels as luxurious as it looks. Whether you're an experienced artist or just starting out, you'll pick up some great tips!
"The Birth of Dawn" isn't just about visual appeal; it's about feeling tranquility and balance every time you look at it. Perfect for your home, office, or gallery wall, it invites a sense of calm and sophistication.
🌅 Want to bring this harmony into your space? You can own "The Birth of Dawn" and explore more of my artworks on Artfinder:
