About Her
Christine Ross
1988 Alberta, Canada
Christine Ross creates surrealist figurative paintings that examine identity, transformation, and the strange experience of becoming oneself. Through painting, she documents the intimate process of meeting herself for the first time at nearly forty.
After a successful 15-year career as a power engineer in the oil and gas industry, she chose to pursue her passion for art and transition into a full-time artistic practice. She currently lives and works in Zapopan, Mexico, where she is fully dedicated to her artistic career.
Her most recent exhibition, "Duality", was presented at the prestigious Universidad Panamericana in Guadalajara. Following the exhibition, one of Ross’s works was donated to the university and became part of its permanent art collection, marking an important milestone in the institutional recognition of her practice.
Her practice is primarily rooted in acrylic painting, although in previous bodies of work she has also incorporated materials such as clay, plaster, handmade paper, and natural fibers. This diversity of techniques enriches her visual language, adding texture, depth, and emotional resonance to her work.
