Meet Christine Flores and hear about her unique artistic practice.
Christine Flores explores the joys and trials of human life through multimedia projects. Flores works with sculpture, digital media, and zines; but her work most often takes the form of whimsical drawings of ordinary objects on paper rendered in dry media such as ink, graphite, charcoal, and markers. Flores’ work is simultaneously personal and democratic, illustrating events and concepts that can be both individually experienced and shared. Her focus on the everyday imparts relatability to her works, while quiet and intricate details invite close and intimate investigation. Flores’ work examines the breadth of human experience, ranging from quick doodles celebrating the so-called “little things” to meticulous drawings that contemplate the more arduous parts of life.
