Serena Vs Venus, 2002 Painting

American-born, Zurich, Switzerland-based artist Rachel Romanowsky creates contemporary impressionist oil paintings that explore process, interactivity, and the nature of connection. ​ Driven by a desire to challenge passive media consumption, Rachel's work argues against a fractured, "fictitious" existence. She believes art's power lies not just in its content, but in its ability to shape the way we engage with the world. This philosophy manifests in Rachel's process-driven approach. Her large-scale oil paintings incorporate crushed marbles and found materials, creating intricate textures that invite exploration. She encourages viewers to actively engage with her art, to move around it, touch, and discover personal connections within its layers. Rachel's work is held in private collections across the US, England, and Europe.
