Christina has been a photographer for five years. Her focus is the female body. 'I have come to the conclusion that if you have issues with your sexuality they manifest themselves via violence and vice versa. Generally speaking sexual issues transcend into interpersonal problems. The similarities between violence and sex are as follows: both involve a body (This can be your own body only. Most people think its another body other than their own.), both involve some sort of penetration (this can be metaphorical or literal), both are obviously intimate, and both function in cycles which have a peak or a 'climax'. However, they are the exact opposite sex is creative, but violence is destructive. 'It's when 'Sex becomes violence and violence becomes sex' (George Bataille). Ironically, this is what my photos gently hint at.
Her photography has been displayed at the KGB Gallery, 2nd St. Cigar and Art's Lounge, Gallery at the End of the World, Liquid City Productions, Royal Clayton, J Ferrari Gallery, Digital Arts Studio, and the Art Slave Gallery. She is also part of the Arroyo Arts Collective which features Northeast Los Angeles Artists.
She interned for the Black Cat Gallery and the Art Slave Gallery. Also she worked as a freelance graphic designer for independent record labels. Each experience continues to develop her understanding of marketing in the art industry. Collaborating with new artists has become a significant part of her role as an artist.
Christina has also organized art events in the Los Angeles night scene. The events employed visual artists and musicians (preferrably local bands with female leads and or latin based bands). For examples please view her myspace photo albums. She attends a private university majoring in criminology.
