Sandra Cinto

Overview
Sandra Cinto

Metaphors of water, sky and rough sea, the sublime of romanticism and overseas longing are elements that Sandra Cinto mobilizes to completely transform exhibition spaces and offer stairs and portals to a poetic dimension of the cosmos. The artist invites the observer to navigate through the drawing and empower themselves by making use of the theory that we are all star dust, so we are all Light!
