About Cristina Materon Fine Art
Born in Colombia, South America, I discovered my passion for painting and design at an early age. My creative journey began with a deep curiosity about visual expression, leading me to study architecture in Colombia, a discipline that sharpened my eye for form, space, and structure. Later, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Mississippi State University, where I expanded my artistic language across multiple mediums and styles.
Throughout my life, I’ve lived in and exhibited my work across several countries, each experience adding layers of influence to my art. My work explores the relationship between realism and abstraction, a space where form begins to dissolve, and imagination takes hold. I’m particularly drawn to vibrant color palettes, dramatic lighting, and bold geometric compositions, often infused with Cubist tones and a strong sense of linearity and spatial balance.
Nature is a constant source of inspiration for me, not as a literal subject, but as a feeling, a rhythm, a presence. My current work is driven by an experimental creative process that allows intuition and exploration to guide the way. The interplay of light and shadow, the use of angles and edges, and the emotional charge of color give my paintings a sense of mystery and depth.
Creating art is an emotional and fulfilling process for me. With each finished painting, I feel a sense of purpose, knowing that I’ve expressed my imagination and inner world. Once my work is revealed, I am always eager to see how it resonates and connects with its viewers.
I am an experienced artist with extensive knowledge of various techniques, including oil and acrylic painting, pen and ink, airbrushing, silkscreening, collage, pencil and charcoal drawing, and digital image manipulation.
