CRISTINA CABRITA was born in Lisbon, in 1984. She has a degree in Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University of Lisbon. She is specialized in “Architecture and Ephemeral Art”, by the Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya, in Barcelona.

In 2014, he founded his company dedicated to the restoration of old buildings and interior decoration. In 2021, he establishes his painting and restoration studio in Ajuda, Lisbon.  

 Observant by nature and attentive to details, Cristina found in painting a way to broaden the plane of her observations and explore their meanings. Painting is for you, the most genuine way of communicating her inner Universe. Her relationship with art comes from an early age. She had her first contact with a painting studio during her teens and since then has been exploring painting in a self-taught way.

In addition to his particular taste for urban design and architecture, dance and photography are also a source of inspiration for him. Cristina's work ranges from drawn and colored cities, abstract landscapes and ballerinas portrayed against black backgrounds in medium light. Her canvases sometimes reflect nature and female sensuality, symbolizing themes such as acceptance and detachment, withdrawal and surrender, escape and freedom, and sometimes they reflect urban order and chaos, through the interpretation of everyday experiences. characteristic of the different cultural contexts of the cities it portrays.

THE ATELIER

The studio, also known as ATELIER 1758, is the space where Cristina creates and where she presents her current projects in person. In addition to painting, the atelier is also a place for “small restorations”, where he reconciles the old and the modern in his work and decoration.

Frames, fabrics and different decorative pieces pass through the studio. They are worked in gold leaf, painted and varnished and often integrated into plastic works.
