Rachel Arturi Pruzan

About My Work, About Me

Artist Statement

Rachel’s art is her emotions and soul laid bare. Firmly rooted in curiosity and intuition, her abstract paintings and wall sculptures explore the interplay of mediums and materials.

She uses fire to echo the impact of natural elements. The stunning effects of earth, fire, wind, shadow, light, and time are all showcased in her work.

Rachel’s process is largely unpredictable, primal, and free, and she surrenders to it completely. Whether layering paint, blending inks, or sculpting and scorching with fire, it excites her to never know precisely where she’ll end up.

Materials are her co-creators, guiding her along. As the composition reveals itself, Rachel begins to work with greater intention. She’s almost never certain of meaning until a piece is well underway.

The creative process is intimate and sacred to Rachel, and she considers it a privilege to share her work with others.

Bio

Rachel is a self-taught visual artist working out of her studio in Manufacturers Village—a non-profit organization, collective of 65 artists, and the hub of Garden State Arts Weekend. In past lives, she was a clinical social worker, a TEDx producer, and a curator of multidisciplinary salons for women, all of which inform her art. She lives in the suburbs of New York City with her family, and her small dog, Gunnar.
