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.

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?

🖤 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.

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: 🎥✨
