CHRISTINA CRAEMER

Christina Craemer (b. 1971, Connecticut, United States) is a fine art painter and photographer who lives and works in Los Angeles. Craemer prefers to work in these media in order to harness her unique vision; to evoke a feeling or symmetry that may not have been present at the time of the original capture. Inspired by a deep love of light, and its ability to create subtle shifts of tone, dramatic contrast, or balance upon each object or being. The way light shapes our experience and perception, which in turn metamorphoses into a spontaneous emotional response.

The principal subject of Craemer's work is nature and the effects of it to influence a state of calm, healing, and connect us to the source of our innate abundance. Her art-making process currently comprises photography and oil paint. It is through these mediums she can further explore unique combinations of similar natural forms to realize her visual sanctuaries. This is important to Craemer’s work and how she develops the imagery from initial inspiration to the meticulous and labor intensive process of creating more complex and detailed works. Her play of scale allows for each individual to be fully immersed and present with her vision.

“The mixing of mediums enhances the spectrum of the emotional experience as I journey through my ever evolving artistic career.” – Christina

“ILLUMINATED LINES”

Christina Craemer | February 18 through April 1

FP Contemporary is pleased to announce the opening reception of Los Angeles based artist, Christina Craemer’s solo exhibition. “Illuminated Lines” is a unique series inspired by nature and its profound effect on the conscious mind. Craemer possesses a magical ability to engulf the viewer by creating powerful images that offer a moment of wonderment and tranquility. The goal in all of Craemer’s work is to inspire the viewer to reflect on the ever- changing beauty, magic and power of nature. In this collection of artwork, Craemer shares her spectacular visions of the most majestic and natural landscapes. Waterfalls, forests, sea and skyscapes are reinterpreted as otherworldly scenes. Each piece has a unique energy that naturally emanates from the process of exploration and exchange with various natural environments. The belief that our conscious mind is a sanctuary is pivotal to Craemer’s creative process, and her work invites the viewer to explore this sacred space.

Born in Connecticut, Christina Craemer obtained her degree in Architectural Engineering from Drexel University as well as an Interior Design degree from UCLA. During her 20+ years in the design industry, she became aware of the impact that natural forms have in contributing to meditative environments and began incorporating them into her organic architectural design work. Ultimately these natural forms and their calming effects are now expressed in Craemer’s magical fine art creations. Join us for the opening reception, meet the artist and experience the majestic and divine moments captured in this monumental body of work.
