Cohesive Echoes
Cohesive Echoes explores harmony within contrast, where every piece resonates with the others, creating an immersive and unified visual experience. The series is divided into two parts, both centered on the transformation of flowers through different materials and techniques, capturing their beauty as sculptural pieces.
Crystallization, a slow chemical process, transforms flowers into hybrid creations, appearing as though adorned with gemstones. This fusion of nature and transformation enhances the series’ mysterious and ephemeral quality.
In the second part, using handmade glass pieces, I capture real-time distortions of flowers, blending reflection and abstraction. Macro photography reveals the intricate textures and colors of the floral compositions, often making it difficult to distinguish between organic and abstract forms.
Created in Tokyo in 2024, Cohesive Echoes was developed in collaboration with photographer Hiroki Watanabe.

The Weird and the Wonderful
Cristina Hernández Montero’s exhibition consists of eleven surrealistic digital art pieces inspired by the tiny and intimate universe of insects, their structures, delicate forms, and iridescent shells. In some cases, the works incorporate textures, adding a tactile and sensory dimension to the images.
Cristina’s unsettling digital creations invite the viewer to engage in a series of visual games that unfold through a free, agile, and playful interpretation, challenging conventional ways of perception.
With the The Weird and the Wonderful series, Cristina initiates a new visual and aesthetic exploration filled with evocative and oneiric imagery, closely linked to a childlike perception of the world. The works are intended to be experienced freely but not indifferently, without the need for explanation.
Limited numbered edition of 25.

“Eggcentric” & “Foundation”
A collaboration with photographer Joana Sandrin Gauer, these series explore the contrast between nature and artificiality. Eggcentric examines fragility through the imagery of eggs juxtaposed with industrial materials, while Foundation critiques society’s obsession with perfection using submerged cosmetics as a metaphor for superficial identity.
