Ruth Jensen is a danish artist in the professional scenery since the 1989. Jensen makes the pictorial matter, the sign and the colour as foundation of her paintings: nature, with its abstracted fruits and landscapes is the pretext of a painture that forgets, during the artistic process, the initial subject in the cromatic impetus and in the emotion of light exalting the subjects. Ruth reverses into her personally interpreted nature, a perceptive and perceptible structure, almost an existential relation between nature and life, not a rational connection but a total immersion and an overpowering emotional involment.

They are paintings free from any mediocre naturalistic residues even though almost intense softness remains suffused in the evocative rhythm of the light and colour effects, realizing that naturalistic abstraction the artist very often achieves.

For her natural inclination, Jensen prefers the oil painting but she also loves experimenting herself with the acrylic, the watercolour and the various materials added to her canvases. Ruth created her artistic heritage of rules and experiences thanks to her studies with talented masters like Grethe Bagge and Jan Hartmann Mogensen but followed by contiuous updatings and personal widenings.

It´s impossible descibing through an unique detailed term Ruth Jensen artworks; they are paintings of powerful visual impact which can´t be defined neither figurative nor abstract and even less narrative but they rather are mystic and symbolic results of impulses and travels of a dreamy mind but also of a sensitive mind to the known natural sceneries seen and at their fructs organized by Ruth on the canvases, with great refinement and delicacy.
