Ritulia was the beloved child in her small family- Rita herself, her mother Valentina, her grandfather Anatoly and her grandmother Irina. Since she was ten, she moved with her mom to Israel, because Rita’s mother Valentina met Yigal (Igor) from Israel, and so Rita has got a father.

In 2016, Rita’s younger brother — Eithan — was born. He is also an important character who appears a lot in her works.
Rita treated her grandparents, her mother’s parents and her father Yigal’s parents very warmly. There are portraits of Lena, Yigal’s mother, of Yossi, Yigal’s stepfather, along with Eithan, Rita’s little brother. Unfortunately, she did not have time to paint the portraits of her grandmother Irina and grandfather Anatoly. There is only a pencil portrait sketch of her grandmother Irina. Rita very much loved Esther the grandmother of Dolev Revivo, one of her best friends. Esther also became attached to her. The Revivo family still has two still life pictures in their house. Larissa, grandmother of Simon, Rita’s special friend, also keeps Rita’s work with her. One of her latest works is a portrait of Tatiana Levin, the grandmother of two Levin brothers, Rita’s friends.
