Biographical sketch
Cristina Avramovici was born in June 83 in Timisoara, Romania, a university city, full of history, unquestionable architectural beauty, museums and a cult for art.
Born to an intellectual family, from a very early, age she decided and was supported by her family to enter the world of art, following her father’s footsteps.
At the age of 11 she was admitted at Timisoara’s Art School, where she spent the next eight years. During the last four years she studied Fashion Design.
She attended regular exhibition around the country, and in 2002 she was part of an exhibition/exchange of experience in Germany. Coming back from Germany, through Austria, and visiting Vienna, she was capture by the art of the Viennese artist Hundertwasser who change her way of thinking about art and changed her future carrier path.
Upon graduating Art School, she was accepted at two Universities in Timisoara, which she attended simultaneously for the first two years. Majoring in Landscape Architecture, because Hundertwasser showed her the endless possibility of putting a painting in motion and involving nature. Also majoring in Cultural Anthropology, because after the ancient Greek art concept –antropocentrism- (the man is in the middle of the universe), studying history of man kind, made her understand better the relation between the man and nature. Absorbing influences from both areas, her drawings changed, incorporating new elements and creating a new style.
In February 2005, she and her mother moved to Sacramento, after fulfilling the transfer requirements from American River College, Sacramento. She was accepted as a transfer student at UC Davis
In the two years she attended UC Davis, she studied for a Bachelor Landscape Architecture, and she minored in Textile and Clothing, a continuation of her first love.
Ending on the motto: as long as you live you learn…she continues to learn something new everyday, and like layers in Photoshop, all this makes her to become better and hopefully a complete artist some day.
