Rima Rusinova was born in Vilnius in 1959. From an early age, she displayed a keen interest in drawing, which set her on a creative course during her childhood. This enthusiasm prompted her to seek formal training in art within her native city.
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+
The painting reveals a serene riverscape where a placid river reflects the bright sky and the lush, verdant foliage of a large tree prominently centered. Light illuminates the landscape, casting hues of gold across a meadow that stretches to a distant treeline backlight by the calm sky. The tree's leaves, interplaying with light and shadow, seem to ripple with vibrant shades of green and hints of white, suggesting soft breezes. Near the bottom left, gentle reeds protrude, subtly grazing the water's edge. The reflection in the water is a softened mirror of the scene above, melding sky, tree, and grass into flowing, watery brush strokes of blues, greens, and whites. The painting carries a calm, almost idyllic essence of a day by the river.
