Christina
Doelling...
Although American, I was raised in Europe. From an early
age, I was influenced by many different painting styles, from the Old
Masters to Abstract Expressionists. I have always been enraptured with
color and the power of a paintbrush. When I returned to the U.S. for my
Bachelor’s Degree, I spent the next four years painting in the studios
of Skidmore College, in Saratoga Springs, NY. It didn’t take long
for me to abandon the constraints of fruit-bowl still-lifes and embrace
the dynamics and freedom of abstract painting. With a degree in Fine Arts,
Departmental Honors, and a minor in Business, I moved to Atlanta to attend
the Portfolio Center for advertising. I was an art director for more than
a decade, working at agencies in San Francisco and Atlanta. While art
directing, I continued to pursue my love of contemporary painting. Now
with my work exhibited in numerous galleries, I’m happy to dedicate
myself completely to my art.
Comments
I am not an artist who does “themes.” Although my abstract
paintings have an identifiable look, my style continues to evolve. I
do not want to ever become bored with what I am creating, and do not
want those viewing my work to ever become bored with what they are looking
at.
On my canvases, certain constants usually exist. I apply a generous
amount of paint and work in layers, letting luminosity, depth and texture
compliment and contrast. Stylistically, areas of intense activity are
juxtaposed with areas of calmness. And many of my compositions are anchored
with geometric shapes and lines, which can create both balance and tension
within a painting.
Since creating abstract art is such an organic process, there is no
set formula or amount of time before a painting reveals itself. The
fact that the process itself dictates the end result goes hand-in-hand
with my belief that a painting not just be labeled original art, but
literally be something that can never be exactly duplicated. I also
believe that appreciating an abstraction is much more about feeling
than analyzing. So I don’t offer philosophical rationales, since
interpretation is primarily emotional and therefore subjective at its
core. My goal as an artist is straightforward: to create what I love,
and hope that people may love what I create.
