The Throwaway Society is the title and guiding thread of this group exhibition held in São Paulo, at the iconic Passagem Literária — an underground space located at the intersection of Rua da Consolação and Avenida Paulista.

Rukin kidnapped waste and transformed it into paint, questioning how this precarious condition redefines and tensions the artistic relationship with material.

The research emerges from the deconstruction and reconstruction of what has been discarded — reintegrating it as an object of art and reflection.

Consumer society produces a trail of traces it attempts to erase at all costs: residues generated from production to disposal, rendered invisible by convenience.

The silent global pact that sustains the consumption lifestyle is, at its core, contrary to everything sustainable and organic.

Circular production, aligned with nature, is not merely an alternative — it is an urgency.

This is the second work in the Poster — Calendar series, inspired by the Chinese horoscope. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse.

In an event promoted by ABRACES (Brazilian Association of Cluster Headache and Migraine), art becomes a powerful tool for raising awareness about migraine — a condition that affects approximately one billion people worldwide.

In After the Brain Storm, Rukin reflects on the dualities of the brain. The work is divided into two colors that move in harmony.

On one side, a pink background evokes the storm. Clouds gather, lightning, rain and wind intertwine in a spiral. Stars and sharp objects compose a scene that captures the intensity of the crisis.

On the opposite side, a soft water-green emerges as a whisper of healing and hope. This side represents the relief that follows the storm — though the brain still carries traces of pain, like scars that speak of resilience and transformation.

Mural created in the Kids' Space of a residential building in Pinheiros, São Paulo. The title 2225 evokes a distant future where human beings and nature live in full harmony. The mural aims to inspire future generations about the importance of caring for the Earth — for overcoming the challenges and adversities of the present is essential to redirect humanity toward a more sustainable and luminous future.

For a corporate event, a retro mini fridge has being transformed with a custom design centered around the Daruma, a cherished Japanese talisman representing good fortune, perseverance, and the power to make dreams a reality.

The rapid growth of modern life is overwhelming our planet, causing instability. Nature suffers under the weight of progress, and technology, though helpful, also harms. We need a new direction, a balance, for a shared future. This project emphasizes individual and collective power. Within each of us is a spark that can illuminate the world. Together, we can create a beacon guiding humanity towards a brighter future.

Consolação Literary Passage was the stage for the artistic occupation Multiplicities, where 16 hand-painted fabric flags scenographically filled the entire length of the exhibition window of this underground and iconic location in the city of São Paulo.

Like a mosaic, the narrative weaves a tapestry of lives, where each little stone shines with the uniqueness of its existence. In a place where strangeness finds no home, diversity blooms like an enchanted garden. The woman, the Black person, the indigenous person, the astronaut, the motorcycle courier, and even the unicorn coexist in harmony, celebrating the richness of humanity. The monsters, which at first frighten, reveal themselves as fundamental pieces of this puzzle, representing the challenges that shape our character and lead us to achieve fullness.

Following the exhibition, a select group of flags will be chosen to inspire a unique collaboration between art and fashion. These flags will be transformed into one-of-a-kind garments and accessories, brought to life by the multi-talented Minnapetit. As a bridge between these two worlds, Minnapetit will transform the fabric into a wearable work of art.

Each of us is an unpolished gem, capable of radiant beauty. By nurturing our gifts and abilities, we can illuminate the world like stars in the night sky. Transformation is a continuous journey, a polishing of the spirit. When we allow ourselves to evolve, we pave the way for a new era where humanity will reach its highest expression.

In 2021, Rukin dived into the NFT universe, giving life to two unique digital artworks. Each one, like a newborn star, was engraved on the Ethereum blockchain's firmament, ensuring its authenticity for eternity.

One was sold to a celestial collector (Fox Travel Agent, 2021), while the other (Fox Spaceship, 2021) remains a cosmic treasure, waiting to be discovered on OpenSea at: https://opensea.io/Rukin

A canvas, a brush, and the enchanting sounds of jazz. At the Porão da Cerveja, Rukin had the privilege of collaborating with Wednesday in Jazz. Three live painting sessions immersed him in a world of colors and notes, resulting in a collection of works that pulsate with life. Check out the results on Porão's YouTube channel.

Abstract Stickers: a digital art adventure by @rodolpho_xto and @rukin563. Together, they explored the world of abstract art, creating a collection of unique WhatsApp stickers.

Nestled in the cozy Armazém Garnizé, Acummulus brought together three artistic worlds. @rukin563, @rodolpho_xto, and @rkrepski created a vibrant visual dialogue, transforming the bar wall into an open gallery.

Porão da Cerveja was a cultural hub located in the basement of downtown São Paulo. Specializing in craft beers, it provided a vibrant space for independent artists and music lovers. The bar played a crucial role in fostering the local arts scene, as evidenced by Rukin's debut solo exhibition, "Voodoo BooBoo".

On heavily textured grounds and overlapping multiple layers of information, the works depict characters from the geek universe in urban and underground settings, reflecting the contemporary technological reality.

Created on canvases, wood, and acrylic, some of the works were made on repurposed supports, such as panels acquired at church bazaars. Through the collage technique, with colorful images and original drawings, the artist creates complex and vibrant compositions.

Armazém Garnizé, a cool bar in São Paulo's Barra Funda neighborhood, hosted the Drama Free exhibition by Rukin and Minnapetit.

The artists, after 13 years living in Japan, brought to the exhibition, primarily, works created during that period.
