About the Artwork
Chico carries over his vintage-retro aesthetic to his works on canvas, playing with the juxtaposition of geometry and the natural form.
About the Artist
Chico Cristobal is a Manila and Sydney based Artist. He has a background in Interior Design, and through this, coupled with his vintage-retro aesthetic, he is able to show his viewers the kinship that he sees between nature and the universe.
As an artist, I believe that one of my functions is to make a statement that will resonate powerfully with others. I use my art to communicate an idea, an emotion, or a purpose. This product of self-expression may help others because there will always be people who feel the same way but are unable to express it themselves. I would like for these people to identify with me and draw encouragement, purpose, and excitement about what is being stated.
The process is something that I enjoy immensely. I developed a non-objective style of abstract painting where I explore the elements of art–lines, shapes, space, colors, and the aesthetics of the common and the ordinary. I play with the juxtaposition of geometry and the idea of the golden ratio and true beauty.
