In Visibility

Christine Lafuente works primarily in oil on linen and canvas, creating paintings that balance meticulous observation with atmospheric sensitivity. Her practice centers on still life and landscape subjects, employing a traditional representational approach informed by close study of light and color relationships. Lafuente builds compositions through layered applications of paint, allowing shifts in tone and luminosity to define spatial depth and temporal qualities—capturing peonies backlit through a window, harbor waters at dawn, Brooklyn rooflines in winter fog. Her work demonstrates sustained engagement with the mechanics of vision itself: how light transforms ordinary objects and familiar landscapes into moments of subtle complexity.
