RU CIEL | ARTIST
Through painting I explore my observations of the natural world and the emotions it evokes.
While they are an expression and abstraction of internalized images, they are rooted in nature and the forms and colors of the natural world. I strive to create in my paintings, as I see in nature, a harmony between the elements of color, value, form and composition.
Learning to trust my intuition is a constantly evolving journey.
I recently returned to working in clay. Clay is a wonderful medium challenging both tecnically and creatively. I have just begun a new exploration of making functional, decorative high fired ceramics and wonder myself where this journey will lead.
