Artwork location: Germany

Secret Desires is a piece that conveys the depth of the inner world of a young woman lost in dreams and contemplation. The central figure is an attractive woman with a thoughtful expression and a gentle smile. Bright, saturated colors and expressive brushstrokes create an atmosphere filled with life and light. Smooth lines and contrasting shades add dynamic movement and a sense of presence, while exotic botanical motifs in the background enhance the dreamy and romantic feel.  

This artwork is perfect for modern interiors, adding color and intrigue to any space. Its versatile style suits designs from eclectic to minimalist. Add this bright and contemporary painting to your collection and enjoy its aesthetic.

This artwork captures the contemplative essence of a seated woman, blending bold colors and dynamic forms. The woman, clad in a blue top and strikingly patterned striped pants, exudes a relaxed yet introspective demeanor. Her posture, with one arm resting on her head, invites viewers into her world of thought. The backdrop features abstract plant elements, including large leaves and flowers, creating a harmonious connection between the subject and nature. A vase with a flowing shape adds a touch of elegance and continuity to the scene. The artist's use of vibrant blues, greens, and pinks contrasts sharply with the woman's red braids, emphasizing both her presence and the surrounding environment. This fusion of color and form establishes a modernist aesthetic that is both engaging and visually stimulating, encouraging observers to ponder the narrative beyond the canvas.

Julia Ruf, Secret desires
Germany  • 1980

Presentation

Julia Ruf is a contemporary artist from Berlin, Germany.  

To create her unique works of art, she uses various materials (acrylic, oil, oil pastel).  

Her works convey the value and significance of life's moments, the desire for the best, the excitement of anticipation, sexuality and deep emotional experiences. And she is looking for ways to archive these moments, turning them into small stories.  

Her paintings are based on figurative images - which are an exploration of the feelings awakened by the artist as a result of the search for inner meaning.  

Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in a work of art, experience the emotions it evokes, and discover a part of themselves in it.
