About
Short bio. Cristina Chiriță (@cris.artacc) creates high-contrast digital portraits that blend fantasy, fashion and folklore. Freckled muses glow with glassy highlights and knife-sharp liner, while flowers, forests and animal companions—foxes, dobermans, a sphynx—become symbols of protection and power. Her palette leans deep reds and soft greys; textures feel velvety and glossy at once. The result is intimate, modern romantasy: soft and feral, tender and a little dangerous.
Artist statement. I paint women as myth—caught between softness and steel. My portraits begin with realistic detail (skin, freckles, lashes) and tip into dream: flowers bloom as sigils, eyes glint like glass, and animals stand as guardians. In Botanica (Crimson Dahlia, Anemone, Plumeria, Salvia), flora becomes mood—grief, desire, renewal—worn like a crown or third eye. Light carves cheekbones and lacquered lips; contrasts drive the work: velvet shadows vs. polished highlights, romance vs. menace.
Series — Botanica. Flowers as protection and prophecy: Dahlia for courage, Anemone for fragility, Plumeria for rebirth, Salvia for healing—placed on the skin as if inked or crowned.
