About me
Cristie Boff (Porto Alegre, Brazil, 1976) lives and works in Florence, Italy. She is a visual artist graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, who is dedicated to contemporary painting through research into classical techniques: the artist uses, for example, rabbit glue as the structure and base of all her canvases. She has participated in group exhibitions at institutions such as Fundação Iberê Camargo (2021), Museum of Contemporary Art MACRS (Paisagens em Dois Tons, 2018), Instituto de Artes Visuais IEAVi (Fora da Cor, 2021) and presented her first solo exhibition, Existencia, at the Centro Cultural Santa Casa (Porto Alegre, 2019).
Cristie approached the field of the arts in 1997, when she began her training at the Italian Academy in Florence and perfected her research on classical painting processes. Her conceptual and aesthetic exercises led her to jewellery, an activity she has carried out in recent decades: she studied Jewelery at the Riaci Academy in Florence and developed her training in courses in the area of Contemporary Jewelery in Florence (2000) and in Brazil (2008). The encounter with painting and the exclusive dedication to artistic production has taken place since 2015, the year in which he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
