The lighthouse is a symbol of steadfastness and resilience — a presence that remains standing in the face of storms, darkness, and change.
The lighthouse and its light are inseparable. The lighthouse remains firm, while its light pierces through the darkness, spreads across the sea, and creates a point of reference in the midst of uncertainty. Around it, the sea moves, the sky changes, and time passes, yet the lighthouse remains, continuing to shine.
STILL speaks of what remains within us when everything around us changes: the strength to endure, the light that guides us, and the power to keep moving forward, even when the path ahead is difficult to see.

ARTISTIC PROFILE CRISTINA TALEA

Cristina Talea is a visual artist, architect, and scenographer whose creative practice explores the relationship between emotion and structure.
Her works combine the sensitivity developed through her early fine arts education with the discipline of architectural thinking. Texture, color, and atmosphere play a central role in her visual language, while rhythm, balance, and composition provide a strong structural foundation.
Drawing from visual arts, architecture, and scenography, she creates works situated between fiction, nostalgia, and the tangible world. Memory, place, and atmosphere are recurring themes, transformed into layered compositions that invite contemplation rather than direct interpretation.
By merging intuition with structure, her works create visual spaces where the imagined and the real coexist, balancing sensitivity and strength, reflection and presence.
