The paintings
are records of people and events where every person and every event are important.
As an observer, actor and a witness, Ruznic uses her painting as a medium to
explore notions of intimacy and connectedness. Sometimes she is drawn to
someone’s hands, to one’s rhythm of speech or to someone’s constant checking of
their cell phone.
Relying on the memory of an experience,
the artist paints what she remembers and also what is unknown to her. In the
act of painting, the capricious nature of memory distorts the truth and the
painting becomes something else—something in between the actual experience and
her recollection of the event.
Nonetheless, the contemplation of the
person or the event-- through the act of painting--is what is most important.
In a world where nothing seems to last very long and more and more of our
experiences are virtual, as an artist Ruznic is interested in the pyscho-physical
relationship between those people she meet and herself. Painting serves as a
platform to reflect and observe the nature of memory and its impact on the
present.
