As a young girl,\u00a0Crista developed a deep sense of people and places and an interest in capturing unspoken moments visually. She honed her style \u2013 neoclassical, serene and suggestive \u2013 at London\u2019s Goldsmiths University and has applied it to both her commercial and personal work for over a decade. Taking her inspiration from what she sees while looking out of car windows as well as from history and her childhood, she is always fascinated by different perspectives. \u201cI&#8217;ve always had this thing where I&#8217;ll suddenly be struck by the beauty, weirdness or ordinariness of an object,\u201d she says. By messing with the objects very nature, she exposes elements often hidden behind their familiarity.<br \/>\nIn her previous works, Crista has explored the concepts of nostalgia, home, sadness but also deep comfort and joy. Her\u00a0most notable work\u00a0is a long-term documentary project exploring the idiosyncratic characters of the maritime town Biarritz.<br \/>\nIn 2015, Crista launched the\u00a0luxury interiors magazine Philistine with set decorator and long-time collaborator David de Quevedo. It serves as\u00a0a premium platform for her and her peers to archive visual inspirations and experiment with new aesthetics. She is currently represented by Artlist and available for commission.
