Brazilian artist Christine Drummod’s paintings evoke a sense of joy & celebration. Her innovative technique of layering paints with palette knives captures the beauty, vibrancy & spirit of her country. Her main inspiration is the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, where she grew up, and it is the sense of optimism and confidence in the Brazilian people that she captures most vividly. Her experimentation with shades, tones and textures set her apart from other artists.
“Joy” is what I want to bring to people through my paintings…”Joy” through the choice of colours, the theme, the life and movement I bring to the canvas with each stroke of my palette knife. When I complete a painting, my strongest wish is that those who see it will be drawn into it and want to te part of the happy atmosphere. If people feel good when they look at one of my pieces, if my paintings brigthen their day in any way, then my mission as an artist is completely fulfilled.” – says Christine Drummond.
