She completed her studies at the Vienožinskis art school in Vilnius in 1981, graduating after a four-year program. While at the school, she studied under the guidance of prominent artists such as A. Švėgžda and I. Piekuras, whose mentorship greatly influenced her artistic growth and skill.
Rima Rusinova’s work is primarily focused on landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. She is particularly drawn to depicting people and nature, regarding them as inseparable themes. Through her distinctive outlook, she conveys what matters most to her, frequently weaving motifs from her beloved Vilnius into her artwork to reflect her strong bond with the city.
Active in the art world since 1995, she has held 13 solo exhibitions and has contributed to numerous group shows. In 2013, she became a member of LTS, and in 2016, she was officially recognized as an art creator by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, in acknowledgment of her achievements in Lithuanian art.
About this artwork+
In the serene setting of the painting "Boats" by Rima Rusinova, four empty rowboats gently rock on a calm, reflective water surface. The boats, painted in soft shades of blue and white, are neatly aligned along a wooden dock that extends from the lush, vibrant greenery fringing the lake. Behind the placid scene, tall trees densely covered in varying shades of green foliage serve as a backdrop, interspersed with hints of autumnal red. The reflection of the trees in the water creates a dynamic, mosaic-like pattern on the surface, where lighter greens and touches of blue mirror the sky. Near the edge, where the water meets the land, pinkish plants and reeds introduce a splash of warmth to the cool palette. The circular ripples in the water near the center add a subtle sense of movement, suggesting a quiet disturbance that has recently passed.
