Rui Cao: Artist Statement
Rui Cao, born in China in 1998, embarked on her artistic journey at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in the esteemed Richter class in 2022.
Currently residing and creating in Vienna, her art delves into the introspective exploration of life and its poignant pauses of silence.
Through her work, Cao navigates the nuanced landscapes of stillness, drawing from her personal experiences to underscore the profound significance of life's quiet moments.
She contemplates silence not just as the absence of sound but as a canvas of vast possibilities, where silence and sound intertwine, losing and finding their meanings in an endless dance.

For Cao, silence embodies a paradox—it is both everything and nothing, a space where the unspoken thoughts and the unmanifested actions hold a potential energy, waiting to be discovered and understood.
