Rui Kez (b.2000) is an artist working primarily in oil painting. Her artistic method is deeply anchored in the spontaneity. Her palette is intentionally vibrant yet nuanced, designed to provoke a deep, visceral response from the viewer. In the use of color field and fluid forms, she hopes to bring out layers of depth and emotion. The ultimate goal is to draw viewers into the magical realm of ultra-reality that reveals something ubiquitous yet invisible in the precious yet fleeting moments of life. Her current focus is on the interpretation of male body within intimate relationships. She recently finished BA in Visual Arts Studio and Philosophy with a minor in Film Studies at UCSD. She works in New Haven, Connecticut.
