Artist Statement
Cristina Montesinos is a third generation Latin American artist living and working in Atlanta. Now a full-time painter and curator, she spent the first 25 years of her career as a graphic designer and creative director.
Born and raised in Costa Rica into a large, Ecuadorian family of artists, Cristina has a rich foundation for her work and life as an international artist.
Her greatest inspiration comes from her deep passion for and connection to nature after spending most of her time outdoors as a child. Drawing on her daily mindful practices and embracing her gentle, quiet, observational nature, Cristina’s paintings capture the mystery and healing power of the natural world. Some of her series also reflect her responses to the often difficult happenings in our world.
