Collection: Rut Amsell

My name is Rut Amsell, and I’m an artist from Stockholm. I’ve been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember. In recent years, I’ve taken art courses and started creating on a daily basis.

My work is a reflection of who I am and the life I live. I draw inspiration from what I see, experience, and feel — the people I meet and the places I visit. You can often catch glimpses of life as a female graffiti writer and the contrast between growing up in the capital and spending school breaks in the northern countryside of Sweden.

Much of my inspiration comes from my teenage years, a time when my close family member was sick and later passed away. During that time, I had to find small moments that kept me going — which has now turned into paintings of everyday life: a cozy brunch, drinks with friends, a sunset in the forest, or a beautiful train ride.
I work with acrylics, oil pastels, and ink, and more recently, oil paint has become my main medium.

I hope you find something in my work that speaks to you.
