Matilda Ruta

I want to draw for children because I want to give them something. I draw what I see and what I dream about. I like pine trees, that’s probably my favorite plant. They draw themselves so nicely, their branches are like strokes through the air. I will never be able to draw as beautifully as a tree grows. That would maybe take a hundred years. But I like to try."

Matilda Ruta, born in 1982, is an artist and illustrator from Stockholm.
