Cristina Cassini Backstrom

Dynamism, agility, energy yet at the same time balanced, poised and powerfully calm. Figures which dance, play and just appear in daily life. Colours are inspired from colours all around, colours in the media, toys, clothes and London streets.

I am inspired by the people around me, the daily places I see, the daily chaotic real life when things are not all tidied away! The energy of family life with small children around.

Music, dance, movement and positivity. Abstraction yet figurative.

Harmony in the discord of daily life when unharnessed!

Inspired by graffiti painters, computer game characters, London street colours, Fiona Rae and Kristina Jansson.

Wimbledon School of Art, London 1990 - 1993. BA Hons Fine Art (Painting).
