I'm Cristina, an Italian illustrator and muralist based in London.
Before illustration, I trained as a landscape architect. That's where I learned to think in scale, in place, and in how people move through a space, and it's why so much of my work ends up on walls.
My practice today moves between large-scale murals, packaging, book covers, editorial illustration and original paintings across a range of surfaces and materials; figurative, hand-painted, drawn from life and stories.
I compose in layers: every piece carries quieter figures and small scenes hidden inside the bigger image, so the work rewards a closer look. It tries to do two things at once: hold a room, and give you something to find when you come back.
I work with brands, publishers, councils and private clients across the UK and Europe. Studio in London, on the road wherever a wall needs painting.
Murals & installations
Painted in place: interior walls, public art, large-scale installations. Where my landscape-architecture background meets the brush.
Originals & private commissions
One-off paintings on paper and canvas, some available in the shop, others made bespoke for a person, a home, a moment.
Brand illustration
Packaging, cans, labels, campaign artwork and brand-led illustration for the surfaces a brand lives on.
Books & editorial
Covers, interiors, newspaper and magazine commissions. A single spot through to a complete suite.
What I make,
and what's next.
Architectural illustration
Illustration for architecture and illustration of architecture. Applied design for building elements — facades, laser-cut panels, surface patterns — and atmospheric project visualisations for architecture and landscape practices. The closest meeting point between drawing and the built environment.
Live painting
Festivals, openings, brand activations. Painting on site, in front of people.
Workshops
mall group sessions on colour, composition and confident mark-making.
Tell me anyway. Cross-discipline briefs are some of the best ones — let's talk and see what we can make together.
