My path in the arts...
There is no formula for being an artist. It's in the soul and in the heart. Art is a place where I can find refuge. I was born an artist, and it is important for me to continue being one. My painting is a realm of magic, color, experiences and boundlessness. The colors I use are vibrant, colorful, bright and lively, conveying a radiant and overflowing joy through my artwork. I use small details that form a delicate and unique pieces, showing that even from simple drawings and paintings, great creativity can emerge.
My canvas and works express the colors of my soul.
Who Am I ?
My name is Cristina Bernardo. I was born in Lisbon. I am self-taught, I love painting, and I convey that love into my paintings and all the other handcrafted works I create. Since my childhood, an innate talent for the arts was noticeable. Painting and art are part of my life and who I am. I took a break for a few years due to my studies, and I came back with full force in 2002 and continue to this day.
I consider myself a multifaceted person, creating diverse themes that inspire and invade my soul.
I am a talented and passionate artist who shares the vision of seeing magic in everything colorful. I have a unique story and an individual perspective, which allows me to create inspiring works of art. I am excited to share my work and hope you fall in love with art as much as I do.
