In 2010, Rita moved to Melbourne, a city renowned for its vibrant arts scene. It was here that her artistic journey truly took shape. Immersed in the creative energy of Melbourne, Rita began to explore and refine her unique style, focusing on capturing the essence of her subjects—particularly animals. Her art is characterized by a blend of realism and impressionism, where each brushstroke is thoughtfully applied to convey the personality and spirit of the animals she portrays.

Rita's creative process is deeply intertwined with her daily experiences and emotions. She draws inspiration from the world around her—whether it's a fleeting moment of connection with nature, the quiet resilience of animals, or the vibrant energy of the city. These inspirations are translated onto the canvas, where she strives to convey not just the appearance of her subjects, but their very essence.

For Rita, painting is a form of expression, a way to communicate what words cannot. Each piece is a reflection of her journey, her observations, and her emotions. Through her art, she seeks to evoke similar emotions in her viewers, encouraging them to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the world around them.
