Peter Ruta – painter See another artist page. I paint what I see but what I see may be colored by my background, born in Germany, raised in Italy, painted in southern Italy in the 1950s, in New York City in the 1960s, then in Mexico, New England, New Mexico and in recent years, Italy again. I believe in the past present and future of painting.
