About the Art
What the artist saysMy watercolors grow from repeated brushstrokes into forms that seem to fold, curl, and turn in space. I build them through bands of color, allowing small shifts in pigment, water, and the direction of my hand to remain visible. The white of the page gives my forms room to move.
Why we like itCristina’s technique allows the subtle variations in pigment and transparency to show through, giving the work depth, texture, and a sense of spontaneity.
Where we hang itHang this artwork in an entryway above a console table, where its flowing organic forms and subtle color variations introduce a welcoming first impression and an indelible sense of calm and movement into the home.
About the Artist
Cristina Hobbs
Raised in Germany with German and Argentine cultural roots, artist Cristina Hobbs now works from her studio in Sebastopol in Northern California. She studied painting and drawing at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Informed in part by the coastal landscape around her, Cristina’s work balances deliberate composition with the natural variations of pigment, water, and gesture, exploring color, depth, and movement through repeated bands that gather into ribbon-like forms. Working intuitively, Hobbs allows each mark to inform the next, creating fluid forms that suggest movement and dimensionality. Her broader practice also includes oil painting and ceramics.“Through repeated bands of watercolor, I build forms that seem to fold and turn, exploring how color creates depth and movement on paper.”
