Rufatto is a multidisciplinary Brazilian artist based in Los Angeles, working across painting and photography. Through vibrant abstract fields of color and textured surfaces, her work invites a slower kind of looking, where color reads as atmosphere, memory, and place. The compositions carry a quiet, dreamlike clarity, shaping perception into a subtle sense of space between the physical and the imagined.
