About tina.
Tina's primary aspiration is to transcend the confines of everyday reality through her art. Her creations serve as an intricate exploration and fusion of color, shape, texture, and the very essence of painting itself.
Each piece is a blend of serendipity and intentionality, forming intricate layers that invite viewers into realms of imagination. These artworks not only depict physical forms but also evoke a profound emotional resonance, stemming from the energy invested in their creation.
By manipulating color and space, Tina establishes distinct identities and structures within her works. Yet, these spaces often blur the lines between reality and abstraction as she challenges conventional notions of painted environments, continuously revisiting and refining her compositions.
Employing a multi-layered technique, Tina's paintings offer glimpses into hidden depths, with transparent layers revealing and concealing elements of her artistic vision. Occasionally, she incorporates leafing and mark-making methods, adding further depth and texture to her pieces.
Working intuitively, Tina crafts compositions that exude spontaneity and playfulness while maintaining a delicate balance. Her extensive studio experience spanning over three decades serves as a foundation for her ongoing artistic evolution, ensuring each new creation builds upon the rich tapestry of her previous work.
