Simone Christen - Contemporary artist

Overview

"Simone's art is a celebration of subtlety and depth.

A minimalist journey into the realm of abstraction, where each piece tells a unique story of form, color, and texture"

Simone Christen is a Swiss artist who lives and works in New Jersey.

Originally from Bern, she draws her inspiration from nature and modern art to develop a unique visual language.

Her abstract and non-representational works are meditations on life, beauty, and simplicity. They invite contemplation and offer a haven of peace and serenity. Using deep colors, subtle lines, and markings, Christen creates a space where forms and textures engage in a dialogue, evoking unique emotions and atmospheres. She skillfully plays with tension and balance, always striving to maintain simplicity without becoming mundane.
