Cristina de Castro translates her emotions into col- or, with bold lines augmenting expression, depicting the theme of rebirth after disaster, when universal forces converge in or- der to heal the planet. Although not political, her works echo changes affecting the Middle East, Europe and America today and offer peace, hope and a chance for reflection, which are necessary for the hope of a prosperous future.
