Summer n.5 Painting

Cristina Castañeda (1977) is a self taught artist from Barcelona (Spain). She started painting and creating as a child, becoming her favorite games and entertainment. Specially during holidays in the family's country's side house, she would spend hours playing with charcoals, acrylics and building little monsters with the raw clay grabbed directly from the mountains. Maybe that's the main reason why she still loves playing with materials and creating textures on her paintings. On her most recent works, she focuses on combining the gestural language of improvisational expressionism with reductive abstraction.
