She conducts and organizes CreARTivity painting workshops, in which participants can connect and re-connect with their innate creativity. Christine is a certified Art Therapist, she also re-designs lampshades. In her works she uses besides the classic materials, coffee, salt, nail polish, bark of the whine and cream of tartar among others. In her early twenties, after she graduated from Fashion School, she was a guest student at the master class of Friedensreich Hundertwasser at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Although she decided to pursue a career in marketing and management, creativity has accompanied Christine throughout her life, in one way or another and painting has been a constant factor in her life. After more than 20 successful years in the pharmaceutical industry and international retail management, she followed her heart and became what she is: a visual artist. “Art must be alive and perceived vividly, only then does it fulfill its purpose. If it is not just consumed superficially by the viewer but is perceived in its entirety when the viewer looks beneath the surface, valuable communication can arise between artist and viewer and a dialogue can begin. A dialogue that often doesn’t need words.” she says and “It is always fascinating to have a blank canvas in front of me and to dedicate myself to creating a work with all my creative being. Joyfully immersing myself in a state without time and space - that is pure pleasure and fulfillment at the same time.” 41 Group and 3 Solo Exhibitions since 2022, in Vienna, Graz, Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Gols, Sankt Pölten, Wallendorf, Museum Krems Dominican Church, Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, Fuerteventura, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Zurich, Miami, Los Angeles, New York. 2024 Woman´s Essence Award Barcelona Participant in the 60th Biennale di Venezia Musa Pavilion Profil picture ©Marcel Plavec |
