Simone Christen

Simone Christen, a Swiss painter living and working in rural New Jersey since 2020, creates abstract and non-representational art that is both experimental and minimalist. Her work primarily reflects emotions and atmospheres, following an intuitive approach that strives for balance without losing tension and for reduction without becoming trivial. Simone is fascinated by the impact of deep color spaces, sensitive lines, and marks, as well as the dynamic interaction of various elements. She mainly works with inks on paper and raw canvas, aiming for depth and luminosity through layering semi-transparent, defined organic shapes. Her artworks are quiet reflections on the beauty of life and its fundamental simplicity, offering a grounding experience that radiates a sense of calm, peace, and serenity.
