Central Relatadeness (2017) Painting by Stefani Ruprecht

Stefanie Ruprechter is a contemporary Austrian artist whose artistic practice serves as a medium for articulating deeper thoughts and feelings beyond verbal expression. Her journey began with attendance at the technical college for arts and crafts in Elbigenalp, focusing on painting and design, followed by enrollment in the Free Art School for Classical Painting.

Ruprechter embarked on her career as a self-employed artist at the young age of 19, beginning with numerous commissioned works. Over time, she developed her own cosmos of surrealist images and objects, characterized by themes of the hidden and the attempt to fathom the essence of the world.

Inspired by the philosophical implications of modern physics and spiritual wisdom teachings, Ruprechter strives to visualize a truth beyond a purely mechanistic worldview in her artwork. Her pieces reflect a desire to understand the world, engaging in visual reflection and sensing of reality while acknowledging the limitations of human comprehension.

Structured in cycles, Ruprechter's works evolve with different themes and conditions arising in each phase of her life. Actively represented in exhibitions both domestically and internationally for over a decade, she is currently dedicated to a series that reflects her current phase of life, incorporating aspects of global events filtered through her subjective lens.

A persistent theme in Ruprechter's work is evident in her series "Strings and Planets," which concluded due to limited availability of specialized painting surfaces. Similarly, her series "Children's Play" came to an end as her daughter's interest in painting waned. Yet, these themes continue to influence and inspire her ongoing artistic exploration.
