Daniela Cristallo
Artist’s Statement
Daniela Cristallo's art practice is anchored in contemporary abstract painting. Communication between natural environmental terrains and their register in bodily sensations become a resource that is transcribed on the painting plane. A constructed shorthand of mark making; colour, pace and texture become the organising principles of her abstraction and each plays a significant role in answering to the observations of place and feeling.
