Cristallina Fischetti
b. 1984, London, UK (British/ Italian) is recognised for her abstract works that blend vibrant colours with gestural and textural movements. She draws inspiration from her South American shamanic ancestry (Colombia/ Quichua) and creative Italian (Rome, Sicily/ Naples) lineage through Fedele Fischetti.
Her artistic repertoire includes paintings, murals, installations, sculptures and works on paper. Fischetti describes her art as "Posthumanism, Ritual, Anthropocene Feminism art in Abstract form."
Her work is deeply influenced by Inner Alchemy, Lineage, Connection and Transformation. She embraces her rich heritage to guide her life and work, aligning her practices with the philosophies of Paulo Coehlo, the teachings of Joseph Campbell, and the psychology of Carl Jung.
In 2020 she founded Abstract Medicine, an alternative therapy service including Art Therapy (Sketchbook Club) Cartomancy, Mediumship, Astrology and Shamanic Healing for private clients.
In 2022 she founded and launched HYPE A, an arts podcast Amplifying Voices in the Arts ( Spotify, iHeart Radio) to an unexpected high reception (Top 10 Art Podcasts, Spotify) now in its 8th season.
Fischetti is based between The Cotswolds, London and Rome.
Fischetti studied at the University of Leeds 2006, London College of Fashion 2010, and Chelsea College of Arts 2019. She was represented by Grove Gallery London (until Sept, 2022) Her work can be found in the collections of MONA, New York, the San Diego Institute, San Diego, and Yue Hu Museum, Shanghai.
