In every work, Maria Ruisi pays particular attention to the quality of pigments, materials, and textures used. Her artistic research is part of a sustainable vision of contemporary art, where matter and light are designed to endure through time. This creation is conceived to live long in an interior and accompany viewers for many years, with the idea that a work of art can one day be transmitted to future generations.
The front-and-back signature is the presentation recommended by the artist, as it asserts the presence of the work and its provenance. However, if a collector wishes to keep the front face “intact” (without intervention on the front), they can request it via the Catawiki messaging system before shipment: the signature will then be applied only on the back.
By default, in the absence of a specific request, the work is signed on both sides.
Artistic approach
Some works are not merely looked at… they are felt.
“Apparition” is a presence that slowly reveals itself, like a breath that passes through the material. A silhouette emerges, not to impose, but to invite. Here, the image does not tell a story: it reveals. It allows the gaze time to settle, and silence the right to exist.
Maria Ruisi explores inhabited abstraction, at the border of the visible and the intimate: the human form becomes vibration, passage, trace. The closer you get, the more the work seems to respond — as if it recognizes the person who contemplates it. It is a creation that speaks softly, yet remains for a long time.
The composition is designed to create a sense of depth and calm, an suspended, almost meditative atmosphere. The work fits equally well in a contemporary minimalist interior or in a more classical space seeking a signature piece, rich in poetry.
In 2020, this creation is part of an artistic research around presence, the birth of an emotion, and the power of invisible moments. A rare work, intended for a collector sensitive to contemporary art, to delicacy, and to pieces that truly “live” in a place.
Work realized directly in the artist’s studio, presented solo. This creation naturally fits into current contemporary approaches and can be featured in Inspirez-moi selections, Le meilleur, live from the studio, Solo Shows and Current Trends: Rising Artists.
