Christine Horyslawsky

Christine Horyslawsky is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who works in series photography, painting and design. Born and raised in New York and based in Brussels since years, Christine has a background both in fine and commercial art. Her subject choice for her photography series of fashion displays and windows stem from her past: her career in New York as graphic designer and art director in product launches and promotion for the cosmetics and fragrance industry that left her with a trained eye for lighting, composition and design.
The multi-layered effects of her images are the results of observed reflections that land on invisible barriers over the staged scenes that in turn, project back the new composed realities. Her trained eye captures unseen realities evoking curiosity and delight in the viewer. These are personal images of mystery, fleeting moments of coexistence of the real, the staged and the imagined. The resulting magic are single shots, straight-out-of-the-camera with no retouching or manipulation. In addition to canvas, she has her images printed directly on brushed metal to further enhance the mystery and play of light.
