Surface Tension (2025) Painting by Andrea Bajusz-Ruppert

My name is Andrea Bajusz-Ruppert. I was born in Hungary and currently live in Germany. As a child, I loved to create—drawing, painting, and making things with my hands always felt natural and joyful. But like many, adulthood brought a pause to my artistic explorations. It wasn’t until later that I returned to painting, this time with a deeper purpose.

I discovered watercolor as a form of therapy—and over time, it became much more than that. It grew into a passion, a daily practice, and a way of expressing myself with honesty and clarity. What draws me to watercolor is its transparency, fluidity, and the way it invites both spontaneity and control. Every painting is a dialogue with the medium, and it often surprises me in the most beautiful ways.

Alongside my work as a flight attendant, painting offers me a slower rhythm and a deeper connection to the present moment. While my job takes me across skies and borders, watercolor grounds me—it helps me pause, reflect, and express the quieter side of life.

My work revolves around the beauty and fluidity of water, my central motif. Inspired by nature, light, and emotion, I focus on capturing those quiet, often unnoticed moments, particularly the elegance and movement of water. I don’t aim to replicate reality but to evoke a feeling—an impression, a sense of stillness, a fleeting moment of tranquility. Watercolor, with its transparency and fluidity, allows me to work intuitively, letting the pigments and water guide the creation. Through this medium, I seek to express the delicate balance between control and surrender, revealing the essence of what I see and feel.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery. I hope my paintings speak to you and invite you into the subtle, soulful spaces they explore.
