Artwork
Christina’s art creates a seamless continuum between tangible form and ethereal formlessness. The concepts of time and space are fundamentally illusory, thereby giving rise to the interplay between these figures and landscapes, they are intertwined yet separate.
Christina is currently completing her MFA in Drawing and Painting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and she is working on her Thesis Painting series called The Gatherings.
These paintings, invoke the profound essence of energy undergoing countless metamorphoses within the human body as we traverse in between realms. Through the lens of eternal nostalgia, these captivating figures keep meeting each other in between lifetimes.
Christina will be sharing a collection of paintings in 2025.
