Fluidity and movement of form converge with emotion and sensuality in the abstract stone sculptures of Chicago born sculptor, Christina Bertsos. She creates surfaces honed by hand to coax the stone’s luminous quality, highlighting its beauty as a reflection of humanity’s inner essence and beauty. Bertsos began her self-taught journey in 2012 at the Dunedin Fine Art Center in Dunedin, FL. Her passion for the artisan’s practice and love for the medium grew quickly and she began to create monumental size work and exhibiting within 5 years. “The muse is the stone” says Bertsos reflective of her allowing the stone to guide as she direct carves. In this way she uses the stone’s unique qualities along with her deeply personal inner suggestions to create the finished work.
