Born in Turkey, lives in Copenhagen. Conservator/photographer.

Photography is way more than photoshop. It's a way of life, through the lens of real beauty.

Just looking for some answers in a world that answers none of them at all! :)

Based near Pickering in North Yorkshire, I’m lucky to have a stunning area to explore, coupled with a passion (some may say obsession!) with photography it doesn’t take much to get me out into local area to try and capture the beauty that surrounds me.

At 27 years old, I am a graphic designer by trade and fine artist at heart. A full-time college student at The Art Institute of New York City, I am earning my degree in Graphic Design. I am known as an obsessed designer and a compelled artist.

I have enjoyed painting and drawing for the past two years. My media of choice; pastels and charcoal. I adore how this dry media provides me with a very intimate experience. Being able to intergrate myself through touch, feeling the paper through the pastels as it guides me. The whole process of creating becomes a very surreal moment for me...

I have noticed few can have such an appreciation for dry media. So as a result, I seek inspiration from past great pastel artists such as, Schiele, Munch, and Monet. Their beautiful distortions of the human figure and emotions, I cannot help but be enthralled with.

I also enjoy water based media as well, such as watercolors, ink, and coffee. Collage and photomontage are another free unpredictable media I enjoy.

I have been earning my trade in graphic design since I was 14 years old. As an adult I am just now learning the true technicalities of it all, which I find fascinating. I cannot help but be more attracted to the design aspect, as it adheres to a strong set of rules and guidelines. Although I do love unpredictability, being a graphic designer offers me some guidelines I must follow in my life.

Through it all, I have earned several online and print publications, exhibits, and recognition, for my artwork. I hope through my art and designs to awaken raw emotions from the viewer. I sell various prints of my artwork and designs. I also offer commissions. Currently, I have a book published featuring some of my most popular pieces. All proceeds earned from this book, will go to charity. My book titled, 'Art=Freedom' can be purchased here on my website @ http://www.wix.com/drkgrphks/christina
