Artist Statement
After 25 years in the graphic design business and a lifetime dabbling in fine art, Cristina now also works as an abstract painter.
Growing up in lush, tropical Costa Rica, Cristina has a deep connection to the outdoors, and this passion for nature is her inspiration. She uses thoughtful expressions to depict harmonious interplays of colors, textures, shapes and light. Drawing on a deep and wide family artistic tradition, her work builds on a long graphic design career.
The results are bold, graphic, abstracted compositions brought to life through beautifully orchestrated color palettes and thoughtful brush strokes. Quiet, observational and meticulous, Cristina invites us to pause and explore the beauty, wonder and serenity of the natural world.
