Ruta Jusionyte - Flying in the sky

Flying in the sky - Ruta Jusionyte

In this composition, the scene subtly evokes the energy of the Tarot card The Fool.

A card of absolute freedom, The Fool embodies the spontaneous impulse of life, movement without constraint, and trust in the invisible. He moves forward without a defined path, guided by intuition rather than reason.

In this painting, the floating figures and hybrid creatures suggest a journey between worlds, where boundaries dissolve. Everything seems suspended, in transformation, carried by a living breath.

The Fool invites us to release control, follow instinct, and embrace the unknown as a promise rather than a danger.

Freedom, instinct, surrender, openness, and mystery are its guiding themes.

Ruta Jusionyte has developed a body of work that is instantly recognizable, at the crossroads of Neo-Expressionism and Magical Realism. Born in 1978 in Lithuania, she lives and works in France and has established herself as a significant figure on the contemporary European art scene.

Her work explores the relationships between humans and animals, in compositions where figures intertwine, respond to one another, and protect each other. Horses, hares, elephants, and hybrid creatures embody inner forces, between instinct and consciousness. Through a warm palette and dense materiality, she develops a powerful pictorial language, both accessible and deeply symbolic.

Awarded the Académie des Beaux-Arts Prize in 2019, Ruta Jusionyte is now sought after by collectors drawn to a form of painting where emotion and visual intensity converge.
