Lo familiar y ajeno: Cristina Lama

Cristina Lama (Seville, Spain. 1977) has a singular artistic world which turns between figurative and abstract paintings. In the first ones, she generates scenographic compositions, while her abstract works are composed by color spots. 

Her artwork is characterized by the expressiveness and speed of gesture, so she works with fresh oil, applying high amounts of material in every brushs- troke. In her paintings there are no rules or perspective, the figures are dis- played in the same level than the background or their have no background at all. Thus the represented objects are subordinated to the real intention of the work, which is the painting process above all. 

Her work has been exhibited in contemporary art centers such as CAAC Sevilla, CAC Málaga, Museo de la Diputación de Huelva, MIAM de Sète (Fran- cia), Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venecia (Italy), as well as in galleries all over the world (Italy, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Mexico, Canada...).
