Abstract to visionary
Christines world is teeming with creatures. As her works vary in intensity, emotion and dimensions, so do the theme and subjects. In a wide – or wild? – range, from tiny portrets to families or captured mythicalesque moment, the paintings speak in a curiously absorbing world view, yet unique coherence.
Christine draws a purpose and theme for the work from an abstract first base. Van Dijck brown, ultramarine blue, raw sienna, white prevail, with accent touches like cadmium red and cadmium yellow. Along with this palette, a refined shadow and light play make her work present an extraordinary luminous quality.
Christine views art and paintings as a larger-than-painting whole. This reflects in such processes as her miniatures. Vintage frames, found at antique markets and brocante shops, are elaborately processed and become a part of the miniature art framed in them.
Though there exists, certainly, a deeper sense in her work, is there a need for storytelling around them – and should it be inflicted upon the viewer? The artist does speak volumes – through the richness of the work itself.
