Tina Pressler is a California based contemporary artist whose minimalist figures synthesize into crowds, creating visual environments that celebrate rhythm, repetition and reflection.
Her designs can be found at Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma. Selected prints are being showcased at Trade shows in Las Vegas and High Point Market. A soil science collaboration featured her work in the Smithsonian Magazine.
Private collections of her paintings spread across continents and cultures, reflective of Tina’s personal journeys.
Her artistic diversity encompasses a fusion of mediums, including painting, collage, and printmaking on delicate rice papers.
Artist statement
My work explores the intersection of material and time, blending layers to form visual narratives that emerge from a place of solitude yet speak to connection and resilience. Each piece is an adaptive process—a response to both the medium and the moment, allowing for an organic evolution that reflects the unpredictable nature of life.
By combining different materials, textures, and techniques, I aim to capture the tension and harmony of seemingly disparate elements.
The paintings seek to mirror a tempo of change that's been surfacing thru our collective migration of identity and story in a rapidly shifting reality.
