More About Christian Ovís

Question IconWhat inspires you?

I constantly study current abstract and modern art on social media. It influences my view on colors and design. Furthermore, I am inspired by the work of great artists like Rothko, Malevich and Mondrian.

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

It always starts with a basic idea or concept. Further views come to mind during the progress of the artwork. For instance which color or shape to apply next. I work in various steps, often by use of masking tape. In each step I lay unique molds onto the painting. This constitutes the ability of creating a multi-layerd effect.

Question IconWhat is the best piece of advice you have been given?

The best advise I have been given is to make sure my paintings are recognizable and that the authenticity can be guaranteed. Therefore I apply a unique wax seal on front and make sure all paintings are signed, name and dated on the back.

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

To bed! While having difficulties falling asleep the best ideas come to mind.
