Cristina Migliorini-Busato

I have always been captivated by the transient — the fleeting glow of light, the gradual fading of memories, and the subtle traces of history hidden within the fabric of existence. Born with a pencil in hand and an nomad soul, I spent my childhood moving from one place to another, each new environment leaving its mark on me. Art became my way of preserving what might otherwise slip away, a method of capturing the essence of time itself.

Now living in Mijas, a whitewashed village on Spain’s southern coast, I draw endless inspiration from the rugged sierra, the ever-shifting blues of the Mediterranean, and the distant, misty silhouettes of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. My work, whether through painting or photography, is a reflection on impermanence. I am fascinated by the way shadows stretch and fade, how weathered walls murmur their past, and how a fleeting presence lingers even as it disappears.

Each creation, each photograph, is a fragment of time held in suspension — a reverberation of something seen, felt, or remembered. Through layers of color, texture, and light, I explore the interplay between what lasts and what fades, inviting the viewer to enter a world where beauty resides in the ephemeral, and every shadow carries a story waiting to be imagined.
