CRISTINE CAMBREA
Focusing the Facets of a Free-Form Farrago
Cristine Cambrea finds her surreal visions disguised as accidents, strips them of their ambiguity with her keen sense of latency, and then lures them into the light by enhancing the contrast between subject and substrate with bold delineations or subtle striae. Like a collaborative cartographer she maps out the boundaries of beings, and the borders of burgs by barging brazenly into the creations of chaos unencumbered by the pretensions and preconceptions that imprison the myopic muses of myriad mainstream modern masters.

As a Visionary Artist, I use emotion and intuition to guide me. I do not work in the traditional process of sketching and planning. After that first line, shape, or color makes it way to the canvas, I get lost in non-thought. It is my time to meditate. And when my time with the canvas is complete, I have a creation that in some way represents my dreams and life experience. Sometimes I do not understand the painting myself for a while, but when I live with it for a time, it reveals itself to me.
