Rita Vindedzis
The artist
Rita Vindedzis, a Canadian born artist, wife and devoted mother, came to realize her passion for art very early in life. The daughter of professional artists, Rita’s earliest influences began in childhood as she watched both her mother and her father bring their artistic visions to life.
Inspired by the creativity that seemed to permeate virtually every aspect of family life, Rita began to pursue her own artistic abilities through formal studies, however the true nature of her inimitable style always came naturally. Acrylic on canvas is the medium through which Rita’s landscapes come alive – a warm and inspiring combination of what she has seen, and what she would like to see in the natural world around us.
The landscapes
Rita paints in her studio using photographs taken during family trips, inspirational drives and walks through the countryside. Some are created purely from memory.
Big skies and open fields, a large expanse of beach, meandering streams and grazing sheep are some of her favourite themes. Each painting is a soft-focus moment in time.
The experience
Some of the words that have been used to describe her work are soothing, calming, peaceful and meditative. “ I feel that our lives have become so fast paced and hectic that in looking at one of my paintings, I want the viewer to feel and enjoy the calm and serenity that I have painted. Although many would describe my work as traditional landscapes I definitely feel that it has a contemporary edge.”
Rita’s paintings transport the viewer to a softer place where the hard edges of the world have been removed, replaced by romance, peace, and innocence.
The following
Rita’s long list of gallery exhibitions, art shows, studio shows and home shows continue to garner respect for her work throughout the artistic community, and have given her both a loyal and rapidly growing following.
Her artwork has appeared in Canadian House and Home Magazine, Style at Home Magazine, Décor Magazine, on national television programs including CityLine, Design Inc. and Designer Guys, Canadian Idol, in national television commercials for Heinz Canada, and in the Kilgour Estates model home designed by Brian Gluckstein.
Rita is presently engaged in a wide range of solo, group and gallery exhibitions and her work hangs in numerous private and corporate collections.
