artist statement
Christina is a Mexican-Canadian artist who explore the feminine as a source of strength and boldness through digital drawing and print-making techniques.
In my art practice, I use a variety of mediums including digital illustration and block printing using linoleum and rubber hand-carved stamps. The subjects of my art usually have a feminine perspective that varies between people, animals and nature.
My work is bold but playful, flowy but strong, representing different dynamics of the feminine. I am inspired by people and objects by looking at them from a different perspective to create a new kind of interest and expressing my own experience in life.
As a multi-ethnic artist, I have lived half my life in Arizona and Greater Vancouver. I graduated from UBC in Environmental Design from the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. As a Mexican Canadian, I have many perspectives that I try to bring forth in everything I do.
