Cristina Gamón

Where light meets silence and abstraction becomes atmosphere.

 

Cristina Gamón, born in Valencia and based in Madrid, conjures paintings that seem to hover between worlds. Her works-crafted from translucent mylar, acrylic pigment, and laser-cut precision-glow with quiet intensity. They do not simply hang on walls; they suspend, they breathe, they listen.

 

Her visual language draws from philosophy, poetry, and the immaterial. Layers of transparent surface reveal pigment in fluid states-evoking water, air, time. Negative space becomes as meaningful as color. Cut-out voids, like thresholds or windows, open the work beyond its physical edges and into something more contemplative, more infinite.

 

Gamón's practice is rooted in rigorous thought and refined gesture. After earning her MFA from the Faculty of San Carlos in Valencia, she received the BMW National Painting Prize, awarded by Queen Sofía of Spain-becoming the youngest artist ever to receive the honor. Since then, she has undertaken residencies across the globe-from the Norwegian Arctic to Paris and Manila-absorbing and translating different cultural atmospheres into her own quiet, elemental syntax.

 

To encounter Cristina Gamón's work is to drift into a space where stillness shimmers and light becomes thought. Her paintings do not shout-they invite. They seduce through reflection, dissolve the boundaries between surface and depth, and offer quiet portals into perception itself.

 

For those attuned to the immaterial, the sensual, and the poetic, her art becomes not an object-but an atmosphere.
