Christin Björk is a Swedish artist with a traditional painting background and an imaginative painter driven by classical beauty. She has created her own imaginary world that is grounded in a place where animals have a natural place in our interpersonal relationships.
The underlying thread that connects all the characters is that they see themselves with humour and self-confidence. This comes from the life choices we all make day to day that shape who we are and how we live our lives. Christine's love of the traditional craft of painting along with her love of animals, human behaviour and fairy tales has formed a unique way of creating a link between the subculture art styles and the finer world of classical art.
Using oil and acrylic paint and simple textures on linen, she has created portraits from an alternate universe that may or may not seem to exist. Her work is about identity and remembrance, with a hidden commentary on human behaviour and how we treat ourselves and others.
