Cristina’s work is a multilayered art, not only because she weaves canvas together to let us see beyond the surface and give voice to the void it conceals, but also because she is attempting to weave together the encounter and dis-encounter of language, power, and reality. The paintings evoke geometrical subtlety and a void that will pull you inside the canvas. Cristina weaves together the primal elements of any image or re- presentation: lines and colors. Cutting the canvas and reshaping it, is what she does. Her art not only makes the canvas a sculptural locus, it unfolds the infinite possibilities of the canvas in its finite materiality. They are not tridimensional canvas, they are the delicate fabric that emerges when we see reality through Cristina’s eyes: there is no inside and outside in these works of art, there is only the footprint that when lines and colors start to collide, we get a glimpse of reality in all its complexity, emptiness, texture and beauty.
