An arithmetical rhythm of games by people who spend their lives toing and froing. When life is a continous jorney in shared solitude.
Urbanites in the city and nearly urban trees.
This vital space of separation, of individual buble, which instead of defending us is sentencing the emptiness of non-communication.
Light, organising the exquisiteness of colours which pretty well define a job done choerently and passionatly.
Solitude, cosmopolitan solitude, all in order. As a wintness of diversity, Lokati reinvents himself and from the distance, he manages to be even closer.

I discovered the world of photography about seven years ago, when I was put in charge of the family’s camera. I soon became fascinated by the limitless creative power that this small mechanical artifact gave me to immortalise everything I found interesting. From that moment I started developing my own style of shooting, mostly in black and white, creating nostalgic, atmospheric and inspiring images, often taken from unusual angles. My work soon drifted from traditional travel photography into Fine Arts, a field that allowed me the freedom to express my feelings through the images without following traditional patterns required in other areas of photography.

Since then, I have learned the ins and outs of photography and have traveled through more than 20 countries in four continents, capturing reality from an abstract, almost surreal point of view.

I specialise in fine art, travel and urban photography. I am currently based in London, but I also feel linked to Valencia, Prague, Modena and Cardiff, where I once lived.

“Time is boring and unattractive” – Cristina wants to change this notion by making looking at time playful, enjoyable and fun. She has rejuvenated timepieces by creating clocks that invite you to look, play and interact. Her clocks are a step beyond being simply functional objects moving away from traditional concepts, which is how time should be perceived in the twenty first century. She uses a variety of elements such as light, movement and physical involvement. Her innovative fun clocks look at different ways of telling the time.

Cristina was born in San Sebastian. After graduating from Camberwell College of Art she has won various awards including the prestigious “Category” and “Peoples Poll Winner” at the “Peugeot Design Awards”. Her work can be seen and bought from her Design Shop in London’s OXO Tower.
