Interview with Los Angeles artist Cristina Vericella.
LILA: Beverly Hills is the place you grew up. Though, your paintings feature feminine characters submerged in a very deep, emotional and dreamy world. Not very Beverly Hills, I would say….
CRISTINA: Beverly Hills has always been home to me. My parents created a world within a world for my siblings and I. Italy also holds a very special sense of home for me as well. I really feel that these two places: Italy and Beverly Hills, creates a strong foundation for my work and inspiration.
Julia's Dream by Cristina Vericella
LILA: You’re an extremely young painter. You just finished your third year at college but you already produced a lot of work….
CRISTINA: My parents and my family have always supported me with pursuing art. My first art show was at 18 and I think that after that I really wanted to continue with my dream.
