Studio Arteur specializes in multidisciplinary art and design, and was founded by Christina Yasmin Fesmire in Los Angeles in 2019, who holds a Master’s Degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design, and has studied Film and Multimedia at New York University and New York Film Academy. Christina has exhibited and trained in various cities throughout Europe and Central America, including The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Copenhagen Denmark, Germany and Mexico. Interested in metaphysical issues of loss and the traversal of time, her work explores life as a liminal passage between growth and decay. Focusing on the ritual of process, she probes stages of metamorphosis and transition, cycles of creation and destruction. The work is born, and in its very creation begins a path toward disintegration.
