About the Instructor:
Born in New York, in 1987, from an Italian-American family, Indiana Christov has lived between Latin America, the US and Spain, spending most of her childhood and youth in Oaxaca, where she now resides and has her main studio. The contrast of cultures has been a constant throughout her life that has forged in her work a rich and eclectic mix of aesthetic and historical references. Indiana Christov's work expresses a fascination with the ambiguity of the human condition, and an affinity with the archetypal language with which the psyche structures and ritualizes the world. Influenced by fairy tales, sacred art, the world of dreams, the Jungian school of thought and mystical traditions of all ages, as well as by artists of emotional and spiritual pathos such as William Blake, Francisco Goya, Hans Memling and Paula Rego, among others.
