Cristina Castellani
I was born in Rome, on the 28th
June 1966, from a family of sabine origin.
When I was a child I loved fantasy
and colours in a moment, drawing my own world, where to live dreams and
inner emotions sometimes reassessed in poetic-metaphysical version, in
constant search of a balance between human being and universe.
I attended an advertising graphic
school and the decorative arts one in Rome.
In my paintings I revive playful
sensations alternating to ancestral subjects that concern the birth, the
universal love, the mystery of death meant as rebirth sometimes.
My painting travels from the figurative
surreal style to the figurative abstract one, with forays in social themes
that cast my mind in a pop-art contest, an activity that is often congenial
to my creative inspiration.
I worship the art and I love also
the photography.
The subjects of my artistic photographs
are often my pets, including two wonderful English bulldogs that I dress
up like true persons, in ironic and winning way. My lens, besides
loves to narrate flowers, exotic plants, odd subjects.
