Ruth Foreman is a British painter living in a small village in north Catalonia. Born in Blackpool, England, in 1978. She moved to Spain in 2011.
Her paintings focus on the human figure – both familiar faces and fleeting encounters. She is drawn to the subtleties of expression, posture and gesture that suggest a deeper narrative or emotional undercurrent.
Through considered use of colour, composition and mark-making, she aims to capture moments that feel authentic and uncontrived.
Painting people gives her a way to closely engage with human presence – through observation and the material process of working with paint.
