The Bigger Picture

Yesterday, I spent half the day with my mom — we went dress shopping for my sister’s wedding.
Living in a small town means we had to drive nearly an hour to reach a city with more options. We wandered through store after store, searching for something that felt right. But nothing really clicked.

And somewhere between the racks of mass-produced dresses and fluorescent lights, something inside me shifted.
It felt like I had stepped back into a former version of myself — the one who used to work in fashion.

Back then, I knew the cycle: the constant push for new collections, the overproduction, the waste.
But I was emotionally involved. I was designing those pieces — even creating the prints — and pouring my whole heart into them. I genuinely believed I was creating beauty.

Now, three years out of that world, standing in those shops made me feel… off.
Not just tired — but drained.

All I could think was:
“How much time do we spend digging through all this… stuff?”

It hit me how far I’ve come:

What I create now is intentional. Personal. Rooted in nature.
Every piece of art I release is a reflection of something deeper — a connection, a memory, a truth.

And that leads me to the work I’m about to share with you soon.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been creating something more expansive — a fine art collection that isn’t just one painting, but a whole body of abstract art pieces that come together to form something greater.

Each piece stands on its own, yet together they tell a bigger story —

a quiet memory.
A soft echo.
The kind of feeling that lingers.

It’s the art of nostalgia —
The last golden day of summer.
The hug you didn’t know would be the last.
The slow fade of someone you loved deeply.

These aren’t just visuals — they’re emotional landscapes.
Fleeting moments, suspended in time.

They’re inspired by what we carry in our hearts:

The sound of laughter.
The warmth of sunlight.
The scent of the sea breeze.

This new series is my love letter to the bigger picture.

Not just in art — but in life.

We live in a world that rushes us.
That values quantity over meaning.
But I believe art should do the opposite:

It should make us pause.
Reflect.
And reconnect — to ourselves, to our memories, and to the natural world around us.

So here’s to creating slowly.
To consuming with intention.
To honoring who we once were, and who we’re becoming.

I can’t wait to share this new collection with you —
a series of fine art abstract paintings, rooted in nature, and shaped by everything we never want to forget.

With love and gratitude,

Christina
