About The Artwork
This piece, Rain at Sea, is the key piece of a body of work forming a solo show celebrating my studio opening in Lipari Island, Sicily. This painting features imagery evocative of the weather and the Mediterranean, suggesting growth, transition, and movement. Created with a multitude of mediums, from acrylics to calligraphy inks, oil paint and sticks, this piece exponentially expands my investigation of the relationship between gesture and painting. The brushstrokes evoke associations with nature shifting subtly between representation and abstraction. This is an extremely physical composition, reflecting the dynamic range of motion and intensity of focus brought to its making. At the same time, this is a contemplative and suggestive composition translating my observations and memories of natural phenomena, such as changes in light, the rushing of the rain on the ocean and movement of the wind, into a language of abstraction that is at once lively and dynamic; deeply personal, yet open to interpretation. “There is always the thought of colour: I remember a situation, a day, a landscape, and it brings me to an image of a colour I want to describe. Then I start with that colour.” - Cristine Balarine

Cristine Balarine is an emerging Brazilian artist based at the Aeolian Islands, Sicily. With a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Bartlett, University College London, and a background in Florentine Renaissance art history, Cristine’s art practice seeks to rebel from the rigour and ultra-rationalization of her architectural background in her large-scale abstract compositions. Cristine's origins in architecture include a wide-ranging experience in several large scale cultural projects, most recently as a site associate architect at the Zayed National Museum of the UAE by Lord Norman Foster. Cristine’s works have been selected to be exhibited in international galleries and events, including a upcoming charity auction at Sotheby's in May 2024, London Biennale 2023, Florence Biennale in Italy, World Art Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Saatchi Art's The Other Art Fair in London. Her passion for collaboration has led her to engage with musicians and DJs, merging visual art and music in immersive performances. She is currently establishing an open studio and gallery space in the picturesque Aeolian Islands in Sicily where she will exhibit her solo works starting in spring.
