With a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Bartlett, University College London, and a background in Florentine Renaissance art history, Cristine’s art practice seeks to rebel from the rigour and ultra-rationalization of her architectural background in her large-scale abstract compositions. In addition to her independent visual art practice, Cristine has been involved as an architect in several projects with sustainability certifications, most recently as a site associate architect at the Zayed National Museum of the UAE by Lord Norman Foster. Cristine’s works have been selected to be exhibited in international galleries including an exhibition and group show at S othebys, the London Biennale in the UK, Florence Biennale in Italy and World Art Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Her passion for collaboration has led her to engage with musicians and DJs, merging visual art and music in immersive performances. She established an open studio in the picturesque Aeolian Islands in Sicily where she exhibit her solo works and give the space to local artists.
