Born and raised in a medieval town in Northern Italy, Cristina first came into contact with clay in her Fine Art secondary school in Italy. Moving to England to study for a degree in Applied Arts, she explored ceramic material using influences from nature and memories, which are her main source of inspiration.
Her works are characterised by repetition of organic forms and strong glaze colour, which are combined together in the realization of decorative and sculptural pieces. Combinations of forms and glazes are used as an attempt to recreate the experiences of nature, time and space, creating a dialogue between the work and surroundings, and between the viewer and the work.
