ABOUT THE PAINTINGS:
Part of the collection Rain at Sea - An Aeolian Tale, a solo exhibition celebrating my studio opening in Lipari Island, Sicily. This new body of work presents a series of multilayered abstract landscapes featuring imagery evocative of the local natural realities, suggesting growth, transition, and movement. Created with a multitude of mediums, from acrylics to calligraphy inks, oil paint and sticks, these new paintings exponentially expand my investigation of the relationship between gesture and painting.
About the diptych:
These dynamic works on paper evoke associations with nature shifting subtly between representation and abstraction. The extremely physical compositions reflect the dynamic range of motion and intensity of focus brought to their making. At the same time, these are contemplative and suggestive compositions translating my observations and memories of natural phenomena, such as changes in light, the rushing of the rain on the ocean and movement of the wind, into a language of abstraction that is at once lively and dynamic; deeply personal, yet open to interpretation
Seller's Story
Cristine Balarine is a contemporary Brazilian artist based in the Aeolian Islands, Sicily. With a Master’s degree in Architecture from The Bartlett, UCL and a foundation in Florentine Renaissance art history, her multidisciplinary background informs a practice grounded in abstraction, material exploration and spatial deconstruction. Drawing on her Indigenous, African, and European heritage and shaped by life on a remote Sicilian island, Balarine’s work explores the entangled relationships between land, memory and identity, subverting figurative representations of urban and natural realms to reveal lyrical and unreliable narratives of landscapes both distant and familiar.
Balarine’s work has been presented internationally, including a charity exhibition and auction at S otheby’s London in 2024, curated by Dr. Madeleine Haddon of the Victoria and Albert Museum. She was the first prize winner of ArtBAM, a competition run by the Munich-based gallery Konsum 163. Finalist in both the London and Florence Biennials in 2023, she has also participated in key global art events such as World Art Dubai and Saatchi Art’s The Other Art Fair. Her solo exhibitions have been showcased at the Lighthouse Museum in Sicily and at her artist-led gallery in the Aeolian Islands.
Her collaborative practice spans visual art, sound and performance, frequently engaging with musicians and DJs to create cross-disciplinary installations and live interventions. Her ongoing project with OWN! Collective, Fault Lines, brings painting into dialogue with music, forming immersive, synaesthetic spaces that challenge the conventional boundaries between visual and auditory perception.
