Xristina Castro Swansea, United Kingdom
Cristina Castro is a Spanish visual artist currently residing in the UK. Her creative process is rooted in questioning, engaging investigative methods, and contemplating personal identity within the broader context of society. She explores various mediums and techniques, with a recurring theme centered on the construction of objects that later become subjects for both film and digital photograph
My artistic practice revolves around the exploration of identity, memory, and the relationship between the physical and digital realms. I work primarily through photography, using both traditional and contemporary techniques to challenge how we understand ourselves and our representation. Through the manipulation of images, such as pixel fragmentation, projection, and collage, I aim to explore how technology, filters, and the act of self-presentation shape our understanding of identity. I am particularly drawn to the concept of layering, whether it's through visual means like projection or through the blending of multiple perspectives within one image.
