Christina Stahovec was just a kid when she discovered her dad's engineering paper tucked away in the basement. What began as experimenting with graph paper has evolved into a distinctive artistic practice that transforms simple tools into complex visual worlds.
Christina creates intricate abstract compositions using pen and markers. Her detailed, hand-drawn pieces explore repetitive patterns and organic forms, each requiring hours of focused, meditative mark-making.
Working primarily with traditional drawing tools, Christina builds complex visual textures through thousands of individual marks, lines, and shapes. Her process is both methodical and intuitive - starting with simple forms that evolve into elaborate, interconnected patterns. Each piece represents a journey of patience and precision, where small details accumulate into mesmerizing whole compositions.
Christina's work reflects her fascination with the intersection of structure and spontaneity, creating abstract landscapes that invite close examination and discovery. The intricate nature of her drawings reveals new details with each viewing, rewarding the viewer's attention with an ever-unfolding visual experience.
Christina continues to develop her unique approach to abstract drawing, finding endless possibilities within the constraints of pen and paper.
