Meeting Lionfish

Through my art I express my infinite admiration for the diversity of colors, forms, textures of the nature world. That’s something I want to share with everyone who is ready to see it. I profoundly enjoy perceiving and contemplating ordinary and unusual behavior of all animals. I entirely dedicate each moment of my time to integrate myself into that space. It is a very meditative process as I get lost in reliving the experience and watch it come to life on canvas. Each painting, every single brush stroke, is an expression of my passion and love.
When you fall in love with something you naturally want to protect it. In my paintings I create powerful visualizations of the beauty of the ocean but also exhibit the devastating effects of human impact. Coral reefs are living and complex organism, the heart of an immense habitat of marine species. Without this pillar a major part of sea life can become close to extinction, which will ultimately effect all of us as well. Their disappearance will entail a disastrous imbalance on all: ecological, climate and human levels. That’s why I intend to connect viewers with the underwater living world and I hope to spark a conversation about importance of marine conservation.
I would like my art to be like a window into the world not everyone has an opportunity to see.
My goal is to capture and preserve unique scenery, exquisite moments and create a visual depiction of the natural world, an endangered world that may not be available in the future. My biggest mission is to create paintings that have not only aesthetic impact on the viewer, but also can trigger emotions and important questions.

Eugene’s practice reflects a lifelong affinity with nature. It’s a contemporary exploration of the wildlife in which figurative perfection dissolves into the evocation of mysterious spaces and utilizes spontaneous yet equitable range of hue. “Nature is the source of my inspiration. Everything I manifest and render is focused on harmony within her laws.”
Eugene uses most vivid colors in a vigorous application to express the uniqueness and define representation of wildlife attractiveness. Extensive knowledge of mixed media enables him to develop a most distinctive and recognizable manner that bridges the gap between the traditional academic approach and modern abstract art. His creations are not limited to any one subject or medium and demonstrate his outstanding perception and ability to focus on capturing details. “Since I started drawing I have become increasingly interested in understanding the painter’s two most fundamental tools: light and color.”
Eugene Rubuls is a widely recognized international artist who has successfully exhibited in art shows and galleries around Europe, Asia and Australia. His commissioned art work can be found in private collections all around the world.
