Equilibrium 1
Equilibrium 1 from Cristina Dalla Valentina’s Equilibrium series explores balance as a living, shifting state - born from the meeting of opposing forces: fragility and stability, transparency and density, silence and rhythm. The shapes recall suspended stones, cells in dialogue, or thoughts that brush against each other without colliding. Empty backgrounds heighten the sense of stillness, like a quiet breath that leaves space for the essential.
Through textures, patterns, and subtle contrasts of colour, she conveys a complexity that is itself beautiful - a stillness that pulses with energy, an order that carries movement. Each form can exist on its own, yet also depends on the others to remain in harmony. This balance may be unstable or changing, but it is alive - born from dialogue, diversity, and trust that even within complexity, one can find grace.
Equilibrium here is not a fixed point but an evolving process: a constructive tension, a conversation between different parts that support one another. It is a search for balance that is not perfect, but possible - an invitation to pause within complexity and discover a sense of harmony without rushing toward answers.

Artist’s Vision
cristina dalla valentina
Cristina Dalla Valentina's abstract paintings explore the dialogue between form, colour, and emotion. Working in acrylic and mixed media, her compositions emerge through continuous interaction with the canvas, balancing geometric structure with instinctive, spontaneous gestures. Her current research focuses on the exploration of forms, the repetition of patterns, and the discovery of new colour harmonies. Drawing on the beauty of her Italian homeland, centuries of European artistic heritage, and the journeys of contemporary artists worldwide, Dalla Valentina transforms personal experience into a collective dialogue. The way she organizes colours and shapes expresses movement in space and time, reflecting the full spectrum of experiences and emotions she has lived - places visited, encounters with people, joys, doubts, and memories - allowing them to come together on the canvas and find new meaning. Through her work, she invites viewers to connect with the energy, movement, and stories within each painting, discovering their own meaning while engaging with contrasts, harmonies, and the rhythm of colour and form.
