Cristina was born in Rome in 1979. She showed a penchant for drawing since childhood, but during her youth she gave up artistic address high school and academy, eventually graduating with a degree in Archaeology. During college she had devoted herself to writing, later majoring in publishing, until she realized that it was not with written words that she wanted to tell stories.

So she picked up her pencils and brushes again and began studying fine painting with teacher Giorgia Marzi, who opened the doors to her creativity on canvas. 

She is a figurative painter, seeking to express the full potential of an emotion with chiaroscuro and color contrasts. In her works she pursues the idea of art as a witness to our existence, from everyday life aspects to imperishable feelings. 

She works mainly with oil, but welcomes experimenting with watercolor and acrylic.
