Christina Ayer
Christina Ayer, a Canadian artist who has been living and working in Italy for two decades, has gained international recognition for her remarkable work in mosaic art. Her pieces, exhibited worldwide, celebrate artistic freedom by challenging conventions and dogmas.
In Christina’s compositions, we find the expression of a freedom that goes beyond mere instinctive action; it stems from awareness and responsibility for one’s choices. Her work is a dialogue between intuition and structure, nature and artifice, reflecting a delicate balance between material reality and higher consciousness.
Christina’s works invite observers to examine the chains imposed by society and to discover the potential connection between earthly existence and the spiritual dimension. In this way, her art is not just a visual representation but an invitation to explore one’s higher self and transcend cultural and personal limitations.
Christina has a Bachelor of Arts degree from McGill University (1st class hons) and studied under Luciana Notturni in Ravenna. Her art work has been shown in exhibitions around the world, including Italy, the USA, UK and France.
She lives near Lake Garda with her husband and four children.
