In each work, Maria Ruisi pays particular attention to the quality of pigments, materials and textures used. Her artistic research sits within a sustainable vision of contemporary art, where matter and light are conceived to endure through time. This creation is designed 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 recto-verso 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 preserve the “intact” front face (without intervention on the recto), they may request it via the Catawiki messaging before shipment: the signature will then be placed only on the verso.
By default, in the absence of a specific request, the work is signed recto-verso.
Artistic approach
Some works are not just looked at… they are felt.
“Apparition” is a presence that slowly reveals itself, like a breath that passes through the matter. A silhouette emerges, not to impose, but to invite. Here, the image does not tell: it reveals. It leaves the viewer time to settle, and silence the right to exist.
Maria Ruisi explores an inhabited abstraction, at the boundary of the visible and the intimate: the human form becomes vibration, passage, trace. The closer you become, the more the work seems to respond — as if it recognized the person contemplating it. It is a creation that speaks softly, yet lasts a long time.
The composition is designed to create a sense of depth and calm, a suspended atmosphere, almost meditative. The work fits equally well in a minimalist contemporary interior or in a more classical space seeking a signature piece, rich in poetry.
In 2020, this creation forms 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 space.
Work realized directly in the artist’s studio, presented solo. This creation naturally aligns with a current contemporary approach and can be showcased in Inspirez-moi selections, Le meilleur, live from the studio, Solo Shows and Current Trends: Rising Artists."
