About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Wax

Sculpture technique using a mixture of pigments diluted in melted wax.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Cristiana Canzanese

Italy

Cristiana is an artist who grew up in Italy surrounded by art from an early age. She moved to London in her 20s to immerse herself in its contemporary art scene and eclectic energy, which became her home for 20 years. After earning a BA degree in Fine Art, she worked as an Art Technician in a prestigious North London college, where she expanded her expertise in printing, sculpture, and painting. This led to her unique style of ‘quadri materici’, where texture is the artist’s signature.

Cristiana also has a background in philosophy and psychology studies and later became a Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher. This duality and exploration of the inner and outer worlds have been major influences in her work. Embracing the philosophy of the ‘Perfect Imperfect’, her art celebrates the simplicity of everyday experiences using unconventional materials.

Now residing in the Italian countryside, Cristiana finds solace in her art studio surrounded by nature, reconnecting to her roots after two decades in a bustling city. Her latest series reflects a newfound perspective on the interplay of opposites between nature and humanity, which has always been present in her work.

Cristiana believes that making art is a process of self-discovery and growth. By expressing herself through colors and movements, she mirrors her feelings, moods, and thoughts. Making art is showing one's deepest secrets and fears, which takes courage and sensitivity.
