She has, during the last 40 years, had her paintings displayed at her own Gallery Knall.

Many of the decorations have been tapestries.

Through the years, the exhibitions have been many at galleries and museums, both nationally and internationally. In her work, Christina adds a lot of positive attributes and the themes leave much room for imagination. The colors are charged with joy and do not leave the beholder unaffected. The cityscapes, in which Christina works with the light and creates beautiful settings, highlights the Stockholm we all know.

Christina also creates paintings with exciting party and restaurant environments, symbolizing life at its best. In her many paintings with decorative and surrealistic elements in beautiful colors, she lets her imagination run freely. Oil, acrylic, aquarelle, digigraphie and graphic art are the main techniques used by Christina today.

Much of her inspiration is taken from France. The light from Provence and the Riviera’s known coast line with its palm trees and pine trees are elements reflected in her paintings. Among her references, there are many Swedish and international companies, Swedish embassies, State and local Government as well as insurance companies and banks.
