Duet Painting

“I paint how I feel and that is a gift." Colorful life experiences have shaped how she expresses herself as a painter, pianist and composer. Cristina is on a constant spiritual journey to explore the depths of the unknown. She has an internal necessity to integrate the elusive silence of inner depth and the easily accessed quotidienne life into one experience…. A classically trained pianist, music has played a central role in Cristina’s life. She devoted her time to exploring her ideal for music and art form the relationship of a Spiritual Harmony. “The synchronicity of sound, feelings and colors create one energy flow” she explains. “This energy flow is the initial moment that invites me to step into a blank canvas and begin a new painting. With my first new brush strokes I start to create a relationship between the obvious and the beyond imagination and this opens new doors to artistic curiosity and expression. It is looking through windows of reality at what can take place beyond what we traditionally see. I have fun with colors as I use acrylics to inspire the unexplainable forms and shapes from my beginning brush strokes. I enjoy layering on pieces of information with thick and thin layers of oil paint to complete a painting. Imagination and feelings drive my brush and palette knife to bring life to my canvas.” Her inspiration to paint stems from her soul’s longing to explore the depth of an unexplainable form. Her use of color has a direct correlation to sound vibrations. “Colors can be heard and sound can be seen,” she explains. In her paintings the flow of colors is intuitive and creates rhythmic patterns within which shape and form are transformed into an abstract experience.
