Biography Christine Hugo

I was born 7 th July 1961 in Douglas in the Northern Cape of South Africa. I am a South African Artist for 43 years. I live currently in Mossel Bay.

I have travelled extensively throughout South Africa, Europe and Australia. My Oil paintings often features bold lines and geometric shapes and I am particularly interested in the interplay between light and shadow. The nature, peace and freedom inspires me to be more creative. The artwork that flows from my brush tells a story on canvas of what has spilt out from within. I am motivated by the enjoyment and excitement of allowing images appear, pushing and pulling pigment across. There are early and later phases in my work, showing the change that took place, and is still taking place in my life. I have a passion to create images of horses, flowers, wildlife and nature. My oil paintings are a combination of fine and abstract art. My preferred media

is oil. It is emotional and my art will continue to open your minds and your hearts. It gives a feeling of joy, energy and freedom. I also do Art tours for national and international tourists and coordinate Art Festivals. The reason I only paint Oil Paintings: Oil paintings are typically considered the most popular medium for investment art due to their historical prestige, longevity and the unique texture and luminosity that oil paint provides. The richness of the colors and the way in which the paint interacts with light can create a sense of depth and dimensionality that is difficult to achieve with other mediums.
