Artist Bio:

Cristina is extremely interested in texture and dimension. Her desire is to create a beautiful visual, as well as an intriguing tactile experience. She wants to encourage viewers to travel and explore abstracts within a multi-sensory field.

She paints with vibrant colored paints (acrylic, oil, watercolors, mica powders, inks), which are combined into resin. Other materials such as cloth, texture paste, gold leaf, metal, glue, paper, foil, organic material, etc. are also sometimes used in order to create additional depth and multiple surfaces in her pieces. This is done in small, strategically planned layers and then repeated 2-30 times. Each layer is manipulated with heat, fire, air, and numerous tools to create highly textured, luminescent & multi-dimensional masterpieces.

Cristina currently lives in Greer, South Carolina, where her studio is located. She started using resin 6 years ago in 3D jewelry and has evolved into creating dimensional art in a larger capacity. Her desire to constantly evolve and push her limits has instilled in her the drive to create high-quality colorful work that makes an immediate impact.
