Les peintures de Cristina BanBan sont fermement axées sur la forme féminine. Elle représente des figures voluptueuses dans une palette de teintes chair dont les formes souvent se chevauchent et s'étirent de manière expansive vers les limites de la toile. L'œuvre de BanBan rassemble des éléments associés à la figuration européenne moderniste et des traces de l’abstraction gestuelle. Des formes dynamiques émergent et se retirent des toiles parmi une attaque rapide de coups de pinceau lâches. Elles sont ponctuées par des zones de couleur qui construisent des compositions superposées et texturées, pleines de mouvement expressif.
