A collaborative painting by Cristina Link exploring the inner landscape and a luminous portrait of your true essence.

What is The Silhouette & Spirit experience?

What if you could see your own inner world? What if your story, your energy, and your potential could be transformed into a work of art?

"Silhouette & Spirit" is a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience designed to create a deeply personal portrait of your essence. By capturing your unique form against the light, we create a powerful silhouette painting: The vessel that holds your story. From this form, a luminous, abstract cascade of color emerges, revealing the spirit within.

The Experience

This is a collaboration to make your unseen energy visible. The process is designed to be as meaningful as the final artwork itself.

Here's what our session will look like:

1. The Illumination Session Your journey begins in the studio, where we'll cast your silhouette onto the canvas. You will enjoy a cup of tea, coffee, or champagne to celebrate YOU. In this space, we'll work together to find a pose that feels authentic and powerful, capturing the essence of your form right now. You may bring an object that resonates with you, if you wish. (For example, people have brought musical instruments) But this is not required.

2. The Color of Your Spirit This is where we connect to your inner landscape. Through our conversation we'll uncover your unique color story: the hues of your strength, your dreams, and your emotions. This becomes the palette for your essence. You will choose your color story for your painting.

3. The Alchemical Creation Then, you will enjoy your Champagne, tea or coffee and watch the silhouette portrait come to life. With the blueprint of your silhouette and your spirit's color story, I will begin your portrait while you hangout! I might even ask you to leave your mark within the painting. I’ll render your form and then work to channel your energy into an expressive flow of drips, colors, and signature marks. The final piece is a beautiful balance between your defined self and your fluid spirit, with open white space representing the path ahead.

Following the session I will complete the rest of your painting leaving it as a surprise for when the artwork is shipped out.

A Portrait of Your Essence Awaits

The final piece is more than a painting. It is a powerful, daily reminder of the beautiful, complex essence within you and the open path ahead. It is a celebration of who you are and all you are becoming.
