Oil paintings by CRISTINA DULANTO

Her work has always been related to the world of art. Not only as a Graphic Designer, but also as a teacher of different artistic disciplines like drawing, painting, modelling and restoration.
An eclectic painter, she likes to combine a variety of influences and elements from different styles. She also likes the strength that comes from working with primary colors.
Her work can be classified within “magical realism”, close to the iconography of tales and fables. For Cristina, painting is «a way of being alive, it is a need to express my creativity, and to bring out what I have inside».
After exhibiting her oil paintings in several places in the province of Burgos, La Rioja, the Basque Country and Madrid, she now arrives to Orduña.

“Orduña, from my retina to my palette”
Watercolors by Jasone Pikaza
(From January 14 to April 24, 2022)
The Orduña-born painter Jasone Pikaza exhibits a number of recent watercolors in the Orduña Museum’s New Artists’ Room, located on the first floor.
They are corners of Orduña under the very personal stylistic interpretation of Jasone, which is characterized by the minimal expression of drawing and the gestural and colorful brushwork.
This is how Jasone describes herself as an artist:
“My skill as a draftswoman, complemented by my attraction to color and landscape, suggests that I am a creator, albeit a late reactor.
Painting is something that I have always sought but I have not trained academically, I am self-taught and, without knowing all the materials, I think that sooner or later I can master them.
I tried oil, but watercolor gives me another ease, another immediacy, despite the fact that I intuited that working with watercolor would be more delicate, less controllable. But the result is surprising and satisfying in a way that I think I will continue to create with this technique.”
