​

​

Fluent in Spanish, English, Russian and Ukrainian. Cristina’s work explores a wide variety of styles. She specializes in portrait painting, blending classical techniques and Latin and East European influences. 

​

She works primarily in two styles. In her portraits she reflects the beauty and harmony of the classic style, drawing on her academic background. In other work she seeks to tread new ground, experimenting with mixtures of classic and modern art, infused with colour and distinguished by strokes of the artist’s knife. In doing so, she takes a more modern direction, in the footsteps of the Masters of Ecuadorian art.

​

Cristina can handle commissions for any fine art work (paintings)
