Title : LIGHT AFTER Artist name: CRISTINA TALEA Dimensions: 100/70cm Descriptions : acrylic on canvas Unique : hand signed AUTHENTICATION DATE: _031/03/2026_ Light After captures what remains after the emergence of light — a fragmented space where traces and reflections hold the energy of a past moment. Color and texture harmoniously blend to showcase how light reveals hidden details, transforming what was into something new and unexplored. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the ephemerality of time and how each moment leaves an imprint in our inner space 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. Her professional experience in interior arrangements directly influences how abstract compositions are constructed, with bold colors and the balance of the works being thought out in relation to space, light, and architecture, aiming to enhance and harmonize the environment. Encouraged by the reactions of clients whose spaces have been complemented by her paintings, the artist embraces showcasing her works as a return to manually created art in the authentic sense of the word.
