FOLIE (2023) Painting by Christine Barth Mroz

Christine Barth, a contemporary French painter, approaches her art as a dream of form, a poetic journey that unfolds in the realm of days that dream. Her creative process involves the sublime task of translating emotions into gestures, allowing them to saturate the canvas until they permeate its very grain. The central theme of her paintings is light, and in each artwork, she invites it to undulate, to meander, and to be transformed by shadows and reflections, adapting to the interplay of reliefs, materials, and colors.

For Christine, painting is a patient and evolving endeavor, where layers accumulate over days to create nuances and depth. Guided by emotion and a penchant for play, her hand executes spontaneous gestures, giving way to the raw authenticity of the moment. All canvases are meticulously mounted on wooden frames, varnished, and adorned with her signature.

Despite being self-taught, Christine Barth has been fortunate to explore the world of painting since a young age. Her early canvases were diverse, featuring silk, wood, and furniture. Eventually, she gravitated towards larger canvases, a preference she has embraced for the past two decades.

Christine's artistic journey is a testament to her dedication to the interplay of emotion, spontaneity, and the transformative power of light on canvas. Each painting is a unique manifestation of her self-taught expertise, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of her dreamlike visions.
