With a playful approach, Rufatto creates geometric images exploring the interplay of color, form, and material, capturing the essence reminiscent of architectural elements. Centered on abstract forms within the built environment, her work simplifies narratives, blurring the boundaries between representation and reality. Through vibrant geometric fields of color, the images unveil a harmonious and dreamlike quality inherent in life itself, inviting viewers to navigate the intricate relationships of abstract forms within urban landscapes.

Born in Brazil, Rufatto moved to Los Angeles in 2015, where she currently lives and works.
