This painting reflects the tension of urban life, where addiction, repetition, and fragility unfold beneath a restless, vibrant surface.
Luca Ruffinengo

Full Description

‍

Bad Habitsemerges from the atmosphere of London, a city where beauty and collapse often exist side by side. It is shaped by encounters with addiction, alcohol dependency, and the fragile lives that move through the urban landscape, visible yet frequently overlooked.

Through dense layers of color, rhythm, and restless form, the painting reflects the tension of a city that never stands still. It speaks to repetition, vulnerability, and the quiet erosion that can unfold beneath the surface of everyday life. At the same time, it holds onto a kind of raw vitality - the pulse of the street, the pressure of movement, the constant negotiation between survival and surrender.

The work becomes a visual meditation on human fragility within the modern city: chaotic, luminous, and unresolved.

Artistic Approach
My work explores the space between control and intuition. I’m drawn to contrasts - structure and chaos, clarity and abstraction - and I use them to create pieces that invite interpretation rather than dictate it. Color plays a central role in my practice, often used boldly and in layered compositions to evoke emotion and depth. Each work is less about a fixed message and more about opening a dialogue between the viewer and the image.
Background & Perspective
I move fluidly between art and design, which strongly shapes how I think and create. While my artistic work is driven by expression and emotion, my background in design sharpens my sense for composition, balance, and intention. This dual perspective allows me to approach each piece with both freedom and precision.
Original Works & Prints
All artworks originate from my own practice and are carefully translated into high-quality prints to make them accessible beyond the original piece. Whether original or print, each work is created with the same attention to detail and respect for material, aiming to bring a distinct atmosphere into the spaces they inhabit.

Design Philosophy
My approach to design is rooted in clarity, intention, and purpose. I see design as a way of transforming ideas into tangible solutions - where form, function, and meaning are carefully aligned. Each object is shaped not only by aesthetics, but by how it is experienced and used.
Process & Perspective
Coming from an artistic background, I bring an intuitive and exploratory mindset into my design process. I often begin with open-ended experimentation, then refine ideas through structure and precision. This balance allows me to create designs that feel both thoughtful and distinctive.
Objects & Experience
I create objects that aim to integrate naturally into their environment while still carrying a subtle, defining presence. Materials, proportions, and details are considered carefully to achieve a sense of coherence and longevity - designs that are not only functional, but quietly expressive.
