Artwork location: United Kingdom
This artwork presents a mesmerizing aerial perspective, capturing a scene of people scattered across a warm, golden-hued surface. The painting cleverly plays with scale and distance, rendering the figures as diminutive silhouettes that draw the viewer's attention into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Each figure is uniquely posed, engaging in simple, everyday activities—some walk alone, others in pairs or small groups. The orientation of the shadows is elongated, suggesting a low sun casting dramatic, long shadows that add texture and depth to the scene. The soft blending of colours enhances the warmth and serenity conveyed by the golden backdrop, which appears almost like a sunlit beach or expansive desert, though it remains intentionally ambiguous. What sets this piece apart is its ability to evoke a sense of solitude and community simultaneously; despite the distance between the figures, their shared space and activities suggest a subtle interconnectedness. The artist's skill full pulation of light, shadow, and perspective invites viewers to ponder the relationship between individuals and the broader human collective. The composition is both soothing and thought-provoking, evoking introspection about one's place within the crowd and the shared human experience. This artwork masterfully captures a moment in time, offering a compelling visual narrative that speaks to the complexities of social interaction and solitude.

Presentation
Born in 1969 in Schaffhausen in Switzerland, Christine Seiterle studied design, painting and drawing in different European countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). Painter and illustrator since 1990, she lives and works between Switzerland and Paris.
Her travels in Norway, Italy, Canada and New York have influenced a lot her pictorial style. The artist inspires herself with her daily life to realize her artworks, in a figurative and narrative style. The citizens, her main subjects, are staged in their everyday life, with a grey or white background, which eliminates any idea of time or place. For more clearness she reduces her composition to the essential elements, creating a clear and direct message. Which allows the viewer to only focus on the behaviour and the movements of the characters.
Today her artworks are presented in public institutions as the Allerheiligen museum or the municipal museum of Schaffhausen. In 2019, the Allerheiligen museum hosted Christine Seiterle's exhibition ZeitRäume and published the catalogue with the same name.
