About Cristina Stefan

Cristina Stefan is a Canadian Artist Painter and Photographer. The artist expresses her emotions through painting from an early age.

Her work is characterized by an intense color palette and varied as the choice of her subjects. Timeless but contemporary treated, they show that the artist mastered her art and perfected by continuous experiments.

Each creation reflects her vibrant, sensitive and optimistic personality and confirms the talent of this multi-disciplinary artist interested in painting, working with silk, stained glass, photography, design etc.

Passionate about art, Cristina Stefan's charm is her intuitive use of colour and composition with which she carries out her creations. Her works, with their vibrant colors, speed of execution and the evident mastery of the techniques used, suggest the temperament of fire and positive living artist. The multiplicity of processes confirms that the artist is constantly pushing the limits of creativity and is continuously seeking to renew herself. 

In the last years, Cristina added to her passion for painting, the passion for photography. We often notice in her photographs, pictorial influences which contributes to define her own style.
