What happens when you treat your creative space as a sacred shrine? This week, Martha sits down with mystic artist Critallina Fischetti to talk about her journey from Chelsea Art College to an old Victorian town hall in the Cotswolds.
We dive into how Cristallina uses ancient practices to ground herself before she even touches a canvas. We discuss her indigenous Colombian roots, viewing colour as a “code,” and how a 2020 lockdown in Mexico led her to ditch traditional canvas for raw bedsheets, ropes, and homemade botanical dyes.
Cristallina also shares how she quietens the fearful voice of the ego in the studio, how her background in jazz dance helps her navigate the “creative headache,” and the unexpected language she uses when speaking psychically to her paintings. If you’re looking to bring more intuition and presence into your life and work, this episode is for you.
