ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born and raised in Kassel, Germany, home to the Documenta, a major international contemporary art exhibit, Christina was exposed to art at an early age. After attending the New York Film Academy in the summer of 1997, Christina decided to move to New York City. She earned a BA from the City University of New York, where she studied set design under Tony Award winner Beowulf Boritt.
As production designer, Christina started painting during the production of the award winning independent film "Liar's Pendulum". Christina continued painting after the production was over but took a break when she enrolled in the Interior Architecture and Design MFA program at the Academy of Art University.
After researching Abstract Expressionism for another film project, Christina was inspired to pick up painting again. For one of her first interior design projects, Christina was commissioned to create a large piece of abstract concrete paintings. Since then, she has worked on abstract paintings, digital art prints and a variety of artworks in concrete and wood.
Christina’s work has been shown at art exhibits in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island, including Saatchi’s “The Other Art Fair” in Brooklyn. In addition, her art has been published in numerous digital publications.
