Emerging from a traditional painting background, Christin Björk is an imaginative painter driven by classical beauty. Sometimes the motifs in her paintings lean towards the subtle and humorous, sometimes towards the beautiful and stylish, but most often her work is like a fine balance right between these expressions.
She has created her own imaginary world that is grounded in a world where animals have a natural place in our interpersonal relationships. The underlying thread that connects all the characters is that they see themself with humour and self confidence. This emerges from the choices in life we all make day by day that shape who we are and how we live our lives.
Her love for the traditional craft in painting together with her love for animals, human behaviour and fairy tales have shaped a unique approach to forming a link between subculture art styles and the finer world of classical art. By using oil and acrylic paint and simple textures on linen she has created portraits from an alternative universe that seemingly may or may not exist.
Her work is about identity and remembrance, with a veiled commentary on human behaviour and how to treat others and yourself.
