A course by Cristina Otero
Cristina began her artistic career drawing, although it was not long before she embraced her passion for photography and discovered the best muse in herself. Since then, she has specialized in artistic self-portraiture and has made color-focused photographic post-production her hallmark.
At the age of 15, she had her first individual exhibition, becoming the youngest artist in Spain to show her work this way in an art gallery.
