Cristina Fornarelli is a contemporary figurative artist. Cristina was born in Bari, in Southern Italy where light and colors have influenced her art. She lives and works in Rome and she has always loved to tell and investigate the intimate world. Her women, whether they are goddesses or ordinary women, painted and colored in a pop key embody the ideals of contemporary women, proud and confident with their strength and ability to give life, an awakening of one's awareness and the ability to finally be free to choose! For Cristina, art is a creative experience, an emotion that must necessarily be shared because her message must embody beauty, harmony, fluidity and love in all its facets without distinction of gender. Her works are an evolution and are the synthesis of years of research. In moments of uncertainty like these, her figures look to the natural world and to their most intimate and profound part, through it they tune in, slow down and rediscover the creative force! In her latest production "the classic pop" the Mythological figure acts as a bridge between experience and the cosmos, between everyday life and a cosmic dimension. The myth speaks to us of realities that we can know and also of things that we cannot know from direct experience. In a world in constant change, at an unattainable speed, the myth allows us to question ourselves and also provides us with answers, which act the imagination, recovering the past, or the history of what we have been evolving into what we are today. In his more mature works, his brushstrokes skilfully slide on the canvas with explosive colors, where the pixels of juxtaposed colors create images that perfectly reflect the speed of the times in which we live and where the same pixels of colors make up the whole just like the pieces. of our lives!
