Stefanie Ruprecht

Since her early childhood days art has played a very important role for Stefanie Ruprechter, born 1985. Ruprechter looks beneath the surface of a visible reality. The outcome is a subjective perception of the world. She shows an inner psychological reality, the experience of subconsciousness is expressed through different painting styles. For Ruprechter, painting is first and foremost a reflection of feelings. She creates her paintings with a combination of different levels of reality. Like collages, she uses different concepts and mixes the experiences of time and space.

As an artist I use acrylic and/or oils. I enjoy going out occasionally to paint en plein air. I find it helps me identify values and colors more accurately although it can be challenging finding somewhere safe and flat as I am a wheelchair user and fighting the weather elements.

I stumbled across drawing and coloured pencils during the 2020 lock down at the age of 49. Inspired, I set about on new journey of self- discovery with the aim of realism as my style. I’m loving this journey and learning so much along the way whilst getting lost in the details.
