Dance of Love began its romantic and ever-changing journey in 2013 and led to a catharsis in 2025. The piece could initially appear to be a romanticized image of two lovers, but its essence is the dance of love from within. Because it is only when we surrender and heal from our past that true love becomes available. We always receive in relation to who we are at any moment in time. My obsession with the human form on a scientific, anatomical and subcutaneous level shows vividly in Dance of Love. The fluidity of the bodies, minds and spirit connect, such that one can’t see where one heart begins and the other ends. The forms are overflowing with secret elements of nature and poetry by Rumi, adding yet another layer of curiosity and depth.

Christiana is an artist who is deeply moved to create with purpose to heal herself as well as others through the poetry of her pieces. Her personal struggles through foster care, addiction, traumas, & recovery have shaped her spiritual & artistic journey into a path of Peace and Love. As an activist Christiana’s works reflect her positive outlook on life. She seeks to raise awareness & resolution on social issues such as: Racism, sexism, violence, mental health, addiction & ultimately Self LOVE.
