Seedling
The artist prefers to work with charcoal, keeping the background white and introducing color only selectively. This allows for a flawless composition, devoid of any unnecessary elements. Kuznetsova-Ruf's subjects are devoid of context—her characters are left alone with eternity, embodied in the white space of the canvas. After all, the signs of time change, but the existence and intensity of the events unfolding do not.
Anastasia Kuznetsova-Ruf's works are executed in the technique of monochrome verified painting. Her tools are tempera and charcoal. Although the word "painting" is often used in Anastasia's exhibition announcements as a designation of an art form, her technique is difficult to classify as belonging to any specific genre, as the main canvases are masterfully executed with charcoal, a pure graphic art. With a classical art education and a masterful command of technique, Anastasia Kuznetsova-Ruf does not become a hostage to "academicism." Clearly, the idea, the psychology of the characters, and the metaphorical delivery remain paramount for her.
