Alita Ruf

My art arises from the desire to translate my dream and fantasy world into reality. In my work I deal intensively with the topic of emotional health. We live in a loud and often stressful world in which many people are mentally exhausted and seem to be surrounded by suffering. With my colorful works I want to create a space of healing - an invitation to lose yourself in a positive inner world and draw strength. My style is somewhere between expressionism and surrealism, and I often focus on portraits. Faces can express strong emotions, and the semi-abstract elements in my work invite you to discover your own meanings. My works are deliberately open to interpretation so that every viewer can explore their own feelings and thoughts in them. My pictures are the expression of emotions, an invitation to come to terms with one's own inner self.
