All materials will be provided (paper and colours, but you may bring your own if you attached to your tools) About the artist Christina Darras is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. Her practice revolves around identity, non-identity, value and failure, and a deceiving cuteness. She employs colour as a non-verbal language to communicate emotions. Darras’s art practice expands over many mediums, including painting, drawing, printmaking, embroidery, knitting and installations. Her primarily tactile and lengthy processes convey a meditative and solitary practice. Christina has studied painting at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and printmaking at Central St Martins in London and recently completed a Master of Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2021 and graduated with a first-class honours degree. She is also a certified Yoga teacher. She lives and works in Mentone with her partner Nikos and their dog Mousou.
