Y E S, W E A R E A L L S T A R S! New Collection from RUEFFA.RT “YES, WE ARE ALL STARS” is a reinterpretation with a boundless wealth of imagination ranged in many forms that include hand drawing, painting, sculpture and digging. The exploration and the technique are two constants for this process. Polystyrene carved with acid it’s a technique and a method of creation, the painting it’s also combined with the introduction of different materials, such as papers, resins, polyester, metal, fiber glass and others.. New structural reflection in the contemplation of the great icons of the metropolis of the industrial and universal show: Artists, Hollywood Celebrities, Characters, Writers, Super Heroes, Intellectuals, Legends, Movie Stars, Performers… Carved and sculpted in low-relief and the inclusion of luxurious materials offers a projection with the texture of the polystyrene creating a new and complete dimension. Portability is a really innovative aspect and the visual aesthetic effect is an extra bounce. Stay curious, the best is yet to come at RUEFFA.RT project.

I L O V E Y O U, B A B Y A collection from 2010

"I LOVE YOU" is a meeting point, a stage, a venue for seeing and being seen, a landscape in which people’s lives unfolds. "I LOVE YOU" is a walk through a seductive and enigmatic avenue at night, with every kind of possibilities and events, delineated by cinematic iconoclasts. Taking as starting point an omnipresent male character, inspired by the Golden Age actors of the American Films and the universe of Pin-Ups 50's, "I LOVE YOU" built up through the materialization of the conceptual platonic female desire for this unreachable and mysterious male figure. The glamorous and cosmopolitan "I LOVE YOU" universe pops and pours over the senses and is assumed as key concept of the perception and apprehension of each artwork in all its fullness. "I LOVE YOU" is a high versatile project which integrates an advertising and commercial vision. A development of a specific king of Neo Pop Art iconography by combining Pin-Up girls with this original and authentic " I LOVE YOU" - from RUEFFA.RT project. The creation of the collection "I LOVE YOU" incorporates not only the work but also the design, the fashion with innovative materials like crystal resin (they are more durable and can withstand higher temperatures), polyester, airbrush and acrylic painting so original that can truly break the mould. Stay close and watch the chapters of seduction, passion and mystery in this luxurious avenue of palms flashing neon's, colors and smoke.
