BLACKBOOK x Cristina banban
“As we walked in, we were met by the artist, who treated us to a guided tour of her work. She showed us pieces with brilliant, textured, and richly saturated color. As we walked toward the back of the gallery, we arrived at a very powerful image of a man and woman together in bed. Then we encountered Lagrimitas de Cocodrilo, a painting of a striking, powerful femme, with long ginger hair, which we later found out is one of the self-portraits. BanBan’s works are a form of escapism for both the viewer and herself, she told us.”
