About Cristina Vercesi
Cristina Vercesi is a London based fine artist originally from Pavia, Italy
Artist, Storyteller
I was born and raised in Italy, where my passion for art was ignited at a very young age. As a child, I could see myself only as an artist; this dream shaped my identity from an early age. Yet, It wasn’t until adulthood that I had the opportunity to learn the craft of art, overcoming obstacles that had once stood in the way.
In 2017, I took a bold step forward by enrolling at London Fine Art Studios, where I finally started to learn the classical traditions of drawing and painting. This journey helped me develop invaluable skills and shaped the expressive and unique style that defines my work today.
My artistic vision is rooted in the belief that art has the power to transform how we perceive the world. Inspired by the quote, "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it," by Rohal Dahl, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and enchantment in everyday life through my work.
My paintings balance classical techniques with a modern sensibility, reflecting years of study and exploration. Drawing inspiration from 19th-century Italian art movements such as Verism and Scapigliatura, I strive to convey the raw beauty of human emotions and the fleeting magic of ordinary moments. Whether it’s the expressive intensity of a portrait or the narrative charm of a still life, my work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and see the world with new eyes.
I aim to inspire others to believe in their ability to create and embrace art's magical perspective.
Each of my paintings is crafted with care and intention, and I strive to make every collector’s experience as magical as the work itself.
For me, art is not just a practice but a way of seeing—an opportunity to connect with the world on a deeper level. Through my paintings, I hope to share that vision with others.
Through my art, I aim to capture the essence of life and evoke genuine emotion. Whether it’s a delicate flower or a bold portrait, each painting reflects my effort to create a meaningful connection with those who view it.
