Rui Carruço

In my art, I've been integrating vertical cuts into compositions, using geometry subtly and expressively. This approach aims to provide structure and rhythm to the images, enhancing the visual experience with a dynamic dimension in the works. Themes I typically explore are varied. I reinterpret still lifes with varied color palettes and innovative compositions. I also venture into representations of the human figure, exploring the complexities of their emotions and identities. Furthermore, I pay homage to revered masters of painting, offering a contemporary perspective to their iconic works.
