“The Healing Heart”

Rita shared that she approaches each artwork intuitively, letting her emotions and impressions guide her. “My process doesn’t follow a strict ritual—it’s more of an inner dialogue that unfolds naturally. I often draw inspiration from nature, particularly from the landscapes and elements that surrounded me during my childhood. Every piece is like a living story, where my characters evolve with me, taking on new roles and meanings as the work progresses.”

When asked about the most rewarding part of being an artist, Rita shared that it is the creative process itself—an exploration of the unknown within her. “It feels like uncovering hidden layers of emotion and thought through each brushstroke. At the same time, witnessing how others connect with my work adds a profound sense of meaning. When someone resonates with my paintings and finds their own reflection in them, it creates a silent, yet powerful, exchange—one that extends beyond words or personal experience.”
