Cristine Baena

Dimensions. Parallels. Time. Emotions.

Cristine Baena, born in São Paulo, Brazil, of Spanish descent, also lived in Seattle, Miami and Mexico City. She studied Visual Arts and started her career as a glass artist in Mexico, in 2008.
Themes present in her work are 1) connection between people and nature, 2) spectators are also co-creators, and 3) glass and light are a concept in most of her works.
Cristine has a great ally in recycled glass giving it a second life and questions old paradigms innovating through imagination.
Her work Viva la Vida at The Venice Glass Week in 2021 brought a great message about human beings and their masks.
. Presence - was presented in Costa Rica and took part on the 1st Iberoamerican Glass Bienniale 2022. Cristine Baena was there as an invited artist.
