About The Artwork
Rina was fascinated when she read about the mysterious Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia, that spews blue lava. The colours that come to her mind, when a volcano erupts, are a mix of molten orange-red-yellow, certainly not blue! She learned that the blue, unusual for a volcano, is due to the presence of an active solfatara (a natural volcanic steam vent) which emits strong gasses with high levels of sulphur. The gasses emerge from the cracks in the volcano, and when they come in contact with the oxygen-rich atmospheric air, they ignite, giving rise to a blue flame. Some of the gases condense into liquid sulphur while they continue to burn and flow down the slope, giving the appearance of blue lava. The flame burns throughout the day, but the blue hue is best seen at night.

South Africa
Rina Ritzi creates emotive and exclusive modern abstract art for both personal and corporate spaces. Growing up in the Free State, South Africa, Rina was always creative, but painting was a medium she didn't explore, and her creative passion was put on hold for a number of years. After studying, Rina became an accountant. Not a common career choice for a creative soul, but it appealed to Rina's organised mind, her enjoyment of working with people and a love for numbers. Now, though, that artistic talent, passion and creativity has allowed Rina to free her creative spirit and her artwork is personal, emotional, distinctive, evocative and unique, but it is driven by the need to create something for a client where they have input into the process. Rina's love of the outdoors provides her with inspiration, energy and motivation. The ever-changing colours, light and movement provide energy and vibrancy that translate into a variety of media.
