« For me, this painting is a reminder that love is not always about knowing where something will lead. Sometimes it is about planting, nurturing and trusting enough to let go. Seeds of Love is an original contemporary painting about hope, trust and the quiet belief that what we nurture with love will one day bloom. Inspired by nature in motion, it reflects the way wind carries seeds beyond where they were planted, allowing new life to take root. Created with oils, acrylic flow, real pebbles, texture and resin on canvas, it has a richly tactile surface. Layered strokes, raised details and delicate gold accents create movement across soft aqua, muted greens, earthy rust, warm brown and gentle blush tones. Resin gives the surface a luminous quality that changes subtly with the light. A one-of-a-kind artwork with emotional depth, movement and a strong presence in a contemporary interior. »
— Rina Ritzi, about Seeds of LoveSeeds of Love is a one-of-a-kind abstract painting about growth, hope and the quiet potential held within every beginning. Soft greens, earthy browns and warm beige move through the painting in an organic rhythm, suggesting seeds carried by wind and the unseen movement of nature. I built the surface with layers of paint, textured elements, pebbles and resin, allowing the physical texture of the work to become part of its story. Earth and air seem to meet and move across the surface, creating a sense of both grounding and freedom. The painting was inspired by a poem by Phil Soar about nurturing dreams and allowing them to grow through care and love. That idea became the emotional starting point for this work. Rather than depicting a literal landscape, I wanted to capture the feeling of possibility — the moment when something small contains the promise of becoming something more. Seeds of Love is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork and will not be recreated as a series.
Rina Ritzi’s art is soulful and expressive, shaped by her understanding of self and the impact of one’s presence on others. After 25 years as an accountant, Ritzi felt the need to break free from the rigid black-and-white structures of numbers and balance sheets. She rediscovered her creative passion through a painting course, which ignited an energy that fed her soul and transformed her life. Abstract art became her chosen language – a way to escape boundaries, embrace freedom, and express what cannot be measured. Her Nature Series reflects her fascination with the sea and sky, capturing their ever-changing moods – from calm horizons to turbulent clouds – inviting viewers to experience both the vastness and intimacy of nature. Today, Ritzi is recognized as one of South Africa’s leading modern abstract artists, celebrated for transforming emotion, energy, and the rhythms of nature into powerful works of art.
