Meet Crystal Rassi
Acrylic | Oil | Watercolor | Drawing
My expertise lies in critique, technique, narrative development, and creating cohesive bodies of work.
A huge part of Crystal’s journey has revolved around residential architecture and the idea of what home means to different people and cultures. Canada is a melting pot of culture with a huge variety of definitions of home.
Home can be:
- Where your belongings are
- Where you feel safe
- Where you sleep
- Where people you love most are
- Where you share similar values with people around you
- Where you work
- Where you play
- Where you value time spent
- Where your best memories lay
- A place you fight for
- A climate you’re surrounded by
- People, places, and politics you’re familiar with
My narrative work gives a partial and biased view of how Canadian culture lives or desires to live. I can never represent all people in Canada but share observations of the lifestyle of the people I am surrounded by, the places I’ve lived, and the culture I grew up in. These narratives are driven by the landscape and plein air paintings I also produce. At times, these studies are a way of expressing the unique and beautiful environment Canada has to offer and also drives my exploration of basic painting elements like color, line, value, and composition. Paintings like these enhance my growth as a narrative artist.
