Cristina Schek

Cristina Schek is an established mid-career international artist who lives and breathes in pictures. A Transylvanian Surrealist now rooted in London, Schek crafts conceptual work that explores identity and the nature of representation, with literature, films, and art history as her muse. Completely self-taught in photography and far removed from traditional or documentary styles, the camera is merely a tool for the artist. Her true passion lies in storytelling, venturing into the unknown, layering, and crafting images into creative compositions.

Schek's portfolio is celebrated on a global scale, highlighted by prestigious exhibitions and art fairs such as the London Art Fair, British Art Fair, Art Miami, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, Hamptons Art Fair, NY Art fair and LA Art Show. Her notable achievements include receiving recognition at Phillips Auction House with the BFAMI Art Exhibition 2022 and winning the W4 Fourth Plinth with 'The Ceiling In The Sky' public art installation in 2023.
