Hanna Ruminski is a Polish-Canadian artist residing in Canada since 1981.
Ruminski holds a Master's degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (1975-1980).

Along with being a participant in many exhibitions, her artwork is also found in numerous corporate and private collection in Canada, USA, Australia, South Korea, and throughout Europe.

Ruminski's art was represented at the Art Toronto - International Art Fair from 2003 to 2014.

Her interest as an artist is expressed by two different styles that collide in a world where she finds perfection in distressed, imperfect images. Expressionist abstract, coming closely to figuration with layers of overlapping letters and textures, applied and removed, revealing vulnerability of the creator and the audience.

For Ruminski as an artist, it is a continuous journey to identify her own unique self expression through markings and gestures. Immersing herself in the act of painting, she defines her visual language through emotion and memory, uncovering what may be vulnerable.

Ruminski lives and works in Toronto.

"My representational paintings of ancestral interiors, palaces, ballrooms, chateaus and villas are influenced by my European heritage, rich in culture, history and tradition.
I have always been fascinated by antique interiors furnished with objects touched by time.
My work combines an appreciation for the richness and grandeur of these places with a melancholic feeling of the fading opulence of the material world.
I am constantly searching for my own visual language, approaching my chosen subject with modern, painterly gestures and layers with providing just enough detail to allow viewers' imagination to wander." Hanna Ruminski.
