The depth of the water is suggested through layers of deep colour, reflections and fragmented textures, creating a sense of a world that continues beneath the surface. In contrast, the world above the water appears light and fleeting, carried by colours and forms that seem to float gently across the surface.
This contrast between what lies beneath and what remains above the water creates a quiet story — about depth and lightness, stillness and movement, about what we see and what remains unseen.
The forms gradually dissolve into colour and reflection, leaving the viewer free to discover their own meaning and interpretation within the painting.

ARTISTIC PROFILE CRISTINA TALEA

After a long experience in scenography, architecture, and interior design, the artist Cristina Talea returns to abstract painting and manual work as a form of authentic expression in a visual context dominated by digital imagery and artificially generated technologies. Her artistic practice is a conscious return to gesture, materiality, and real emotion.

Cristina Talea is a visual artist, architect, and scenographer whose creative practice explores the relationship between emotion and structure.
Her works combine the sensitivity developed through her early fine arts education with the discipline of architectural thinking. Texture, color, and atmosphere play a central role in her visual language, while rhythm, balance, and composition provide a strong structural foundation.
Drawing from visual arts, architecture, and scenography, she creates works situated between fiction, nostalgia, and the tangible world. Memory, place, and atmosphere are recurring themes, transformed into layered compositions that invite contemplation rather than direct interpretation.
By merging intuition with structure, her works create visual spaces where the imagined and the real coexist, balancing sensitivity and strength, reflection and presence.
