Primavera 1 Painting

Ian Rutter was born in Germany and grew up in Cyprus and the United Kingdom. He went to school in Northern Ireland where he realised that his passions lay in the creative arts and literature, studying Art, French and English Literature. His degree is in Architecture, but he decided to start to earn a living rather than continue with his post-graduate diploma. His subsequent career was varied and included 10 years as the Creative Director of a marketing agency, several years educating businesses on the commercial benefits of Inclusive Design and as a radio producer, presenter and voiceover artist. In 2016, Ian and his husband moved to Spain to pursue their creative interests, and Ian started to paint again. He was introduced to Abstract Landscape Painting in Acrylics during a course he and his husband organised, and he immediately fell in love with the medium and the freedom of abstract representation.
