Rubita is a sculptor who paints. She embeds her canvases with sand, crushed glass, and even fragments of recycled textiles. Consequently, is not meant to be seen from a distance; it demands close inspection. The viewer’s eye travels over peaks of impasto and valleys of bare linen, creating a haptic experience that is rare in two-dimensional art.
Throughout her work, Rubita explores a range of themes and motifs, including identity, culture, politics, and the human condition. Her art often engages with issues of social justice, questioning dominant narratives and power structures. Rubita's use of humor, irony, and satire adds complexity to her work, inviting viewers to consider multiple perspectives and challenge their assumptions.
