Cristiana Figueiredo:

Cristiana’s life is a tapestry woven across three continents. Born in Angola, she spent her formative years in Portugal, moving to Macau in her late twenties. An early fascination with the arts inspired her to pursue several short courses in art history, drawing, and painting, and to take up photography, laying the groundwork for her creative journey.

For Cristiana, “photography is the still moment in the rush of life, the image that expresses an unrepeatable fraction of time. It’s the small section of a larger reality that we deem to be worthy of permanence. In that choice, there is a world of sentience that is, in turn, an intimate reflection of ourselves.”
