Cristina J. Rey  

Born in 1987 in Spain, Cristina Jimenez Rey is a visual artist and artistic director. She was introduced to art at the age of 11 with drawing, which she later studied at the San Eloy school. As a teenager, her mother's old Yashica electro 35 mm box fell into her hands. She then begins to photograph her friends and those around her.

In 2005, Cristina won her first photography competition and won a scholarship a few years later to follow a Master's degree in Granada. It is the beginning of a career already full of success and always promising for the young Spanish artist.

His work is interested in the play of shadows and lights and unexpected warm hues in disturbing scenes. The composition plays a major role: Cristina is constantly looking for the perfect harmony between the elements. If her work today focuses mainly on photography, Cristina is interested in all forms of art.

Endowed with an obvious attraction for cinema, she draws her inspiration from multiple sources: "cinema, music, skateboarding and surfing inspire me like visual poetry" but also from artists ranging from Theo Gosselin to Damien Hirst .
