Biography

Subsequently she dedicates herself to painting with growing passion and it is precisely by using spatulas and colors that Cristina realizes she can communicate and give voice to her feelings, emotions and moods on a higher and more profound level. Her work is mainly the expression of an ancestral identity, which finds its unique and authentic realization when the work reaches the fullness and totality of completion. The works tell the vital experience of the artist in her continuous crossing through fleeting and turbulent moments, in the course of which symbols emerge that evoke ancestral and primitive atmospheres. Cristina pursues and chases, in her creation, the essence of the natural universe: consequently the artist is instinctively inclined to remove and subtract, to eliminate rather than add, until the moment in which her energies, almost exhausted, recognize themselves in a gestural and visual simplicity. Her technique consists in the use of a mixture of materials (plaster, vinyl glue and acrylic paint) which are "scraped" in the continuous attempt to read one's soul in order to reach and achieve a kind of spatial and metaphysical mysticism.
