About Cristina Vercesi
Cristina Vercesi is a London based fine artist originally from Pavia, Italy
Growing up in Italy, Cristina nurtured her passion for art early on. However, it wasn't until 2017, during her late 30s, that she took a momentous leap forward by joining London Fine Art Studios. There, she immersed herself in the classical method of drawing and painting, acquiring invaluable skills. Today, as a part-time teacher at the school, Cristina imparts her expertise, inspiring and guiding others on their artistic journeys.
In 2021, she was awarded the prestigious De Laszlo Scholarship.
Her creative spirit is fuelled by the Italian art movements of Verism and Scapigliatura, which capture the rawness of human emotions and challenge traditional artistic norms. Additionally, she finds inspiration in Expressionism, with its bold and expressive brushwork.
In her artistic journey, Cristina's goal is to capture emotions and create a captivating blend of traditional and modern approaches. This fusion allows her to push the boundaries of her art, inviting viewers to experience a harmonious blend of old and new and showcasing her innovative thinking and the evolution of her artistic style.
Cristina's art is a testament to her belief in the transformative power of growth. Her expressive and evocative artwork invites viewers on an introspective journey where they can connect with their emotions and find solace, inspiration, and a renewed appreciation for the beauty of artistic expression. Her commitment to allowing her art to evolve naturally, reflecting her belief in the power of growth and transformation, resonates deeply with her viewers.
Cristina's love for art extends beyond her creations. As an avid art book collector, she has a deep passion for unearthing information about talented artists. Her curiosity is not limited to the well-known figures but extends to those whose works and lives have been overshadowed by time. This genuine curiosity and love for the art world make her search for hidden gems a constant and exciting pursuit.
Through my art, I strive to capture the essence of life and to evoke powerful emotions in those who view my work. Whether it's a delicate flower or a striking portrait, each of my paintings is an invitation to connect with profound meaning.
